Important note for gvSIG 1.9 and gvSIG 1.10 users
The following error has been detected within the gvSIG 1.9 and gvSIG 1.10 uninstaller: it deletes the default symbols and labeling styles from the user directory, so those projects (.gvp files) that uses some of this symbols or styles don’t load properly anymore with any other gvSIG installation (e.g. gvSIG 1.11).
To solve this we recommend to uninstall and install again gvSIG 1.11.
Version 1.11

- From the Desktop shortcut.
- From the Start/Programs menu.
- From the command line:
- Step into the application directory (it is the one choosed at the installation time).

gvSIG language defaults to the system language, if it matches with one of those supported (valencian, spanish, gallego, english, czech, german, basque, french, italian, portuguese, chinese, polish and romanian). Otherwise, english language is used.
There are two ways to change the language:
- From the Window menu, select Preferences then go to General/Language panel and select the language you wish. To apply the changes exit and run again gvSIG.
