摘要：This paper shows the main aspects of technology in which the MiraMon Map Reader, a program of free diffusion for the distribution and exploration of geographical information through Internet or on CD, is based. The information can be raster (1 to 32 bits per pixel) or vector with topology, and is distributed using the most advanced algorithms of data compression. The information provided by the MiraMon Map Reader neither is a small part of the initial data nor a screen dump, but it supplies all the graphic, alphanumerical and documentary information of any type related to each map to be distributed. Data are certified to guarantee its integrity and the authorship of the distributor. The technology of the Reader is already working in two web servers and an important amount of geomatic data is distributed from them
