The USGS Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) requires a web browser with Java and JavaScript enabled. Java 1.7 (also called Java 7 or 1.7.0) update 12 or higher is strongly recommended. Some browsers may require the installation of a plug-in or add-on for Java. Some browsers require pop-ups to be allowed for glovis.usgs.gov. 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 occur, upgrading to a newer browser may fix the problem. Installing the most recent Java version from java.com may improve performance.
Please be aware that GloVis no longer supports Netscape browsers. When using Netscape, problems with the applet may occur.
Download Java for most operating systems and browsers from java.com. On that page, follow the Download link to get instructions for downloading and installing Java for your operating system and browser.
Mac users should use the Software Update menu or go to the Downloads area of www.apple.com. Lion users (64-bit) may use java.com. (Does not apply to Chrome.)
Please refer to your browser help for information on properly configuring Java and JavaScript support and enabling pop-ups. These links may be useful:
