Author, Serve, Use - ArcGIS Image Server Posted on July 19, 2007
At the 2007 ESRI User Conference a popular topic of discussion (and a popular session) was that of ArcGIS Server - recall the solution was released last year along with ArcGIS 9.2. So, why so popular? Given that imagery is a natural background for many GIS applications Image Server really can be thought of as a no-brainer. Imagery is also useful for direct interpretation, statistics and analysis, used for vectorization (80% of vector data collected using imagery backdrop), and data verification after GIS analysis. Read on for more on ArcGIS Imager Server, the road ahead, and the number One enhancement for ArGIS 9.3!
Integrating ArcGIS and Google Earth: Analyzing Patterns in Geographic Data through Time Posted on July 09, 2007 Several months ago we introduced our readers to our very popular Google 101 series of articles, looking in detail at the Google maps API and describing how to start developing mashups with it. The trilogy of how-to articles has become one of the most popular tutorials to date at GISuser.com. Moving forward, we're pleased to pick up where we left off and offer another fine article from author Eric Pimpler, this one focuses on the integration of ArcGIS and Google Earth and looks at enhancements found in Google Earth 4 like the introduction of the new Time control... enjoy!

Geospatial One-Stop Matures with GOS-2 Posted on August 03, 2005 The Geospatial One-Stop http://www.geodata.gov/ (GOS) is an e-government initiative designed to make it easier, faster, and cheaper for users (government & public) to access geospatial information. In a nutshell, with GOS, users can discover and access geospatial resources and meta-data. At version 2, GOS is more intuitive and should be a much richer data resource as well... read on for more about GOS2.
A Look at the Geocoding Functionality Build Into Google Maps API V2 Posted on June 27, 2006 When the Google Maps API was released in early 2005, one of the most notable omissions was the ability to geocode addresses. This posed more of an inconvenience that anything else as there are many geocoding API’s available from various sources, some of which are free to use. Earlier this month that all changed as Google added geocoding functionality to it’s Maps API... read on about it in this fine contribution.
