This is a client for the GeoBox infrastructure (GBI). The GBI allows you to download, synchronize and use raster and vector data on remote/offline clients.

GBI-Client is a desktop application that allows you to download raster and vector data from a central server. You can then create smaller extracts of the local data for offline use or other purposes.
