The USGS Global Visualization Viewer requires a web browser with Java 1.6 (also simply called Java 6) update 31 or higher and JavaScript enabled. Some browsers may require the installation of a plug-in for Java. Not all combinations of operating systems, browsers and plug-ins have been tested.
Note that not all versions of the browsers listed have been tested. If problems are encountered, upgrading to a newer browser may fix the problem. Installing the most recent Java plug-in from java.com may improve performance.
Please be aware that GloVis no longer officially supports Netscape browsers. When using Netscape, problems with the applet may occur.
Download the Java plug-in for most operating systems and browsers from java.com. On that page, follow the Download link to get instructions for downloading and installing the plug-in for your operating system and browser.
Mac users should go to the Downloads area of www.apple.com.
Please refer to your browser help for information on properly configuring Java and JavaScript support. These links may be useful:
