ILWIS - the Remote Sensing and GIS software -

The Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS) is a PC-based GIS & Remote Sensing software, developed by ITC up to its last release (version 3.3) in 2005. ILWIS comprises a complete package of image processing, spatial analysis and digital mapping. It is easy to learn and use; it has full on-line help, extensive tutorials for direct use in courses and 25 case studies of various disciplines.

Why ILWIS ?

Key features

  1. Vector and Raster capacity integrated into 1 software package

  2. Developed by an autonomous higher education institution under the Dutch government

  3. Initiated in 1984 with a subsidy from the Ministry of Development cooperation, ILWIS is one of the oldest GIS programmes around

  4. With both vector and raster integrated into one package, it takes less time to learn to use the programme

  5. Being developed by a training institute, ILWIS has always been tested for its user-friendliness for more than 2 decades on thousands of students
