In each edition of the GISuser Today newsletter we list some of Glenn's favorite things. The following appeared in the Nov 1, 2007 edition.
Suggested Application... Arc2Earth Arc2Earth can export data in several different layouts. All of these layouts are useful in different ways from within Google Earth. Some are good for preserving the exact cartographic characteristics of the map and some are better for 3D extrusion and user interaction inside Google Earth. Recently updated to R2
Suggested Mashups... USGS Earthquake Mashup An interesting application that maps recent earthquakes as reported and tracked bu the USGS
Suggested Blog... VE Dev Blog A useful blog for anyone interested in Virtual Earth and moreso, developing on VE
My Favorite Photos... USGS Quad sheet GeoPDF A shot of my local area as seen on a USGS quad sheet... available for download and printing by aonyone using GeoPDF. For more see the GISuser Fickr
