Group Layers in Cached ArcGIS Server Map Services
Friday, September 12, 2008 11:11 AM
Christian passed along a tip for when creating cached ArcGIS server map services that he picked up at this year’s ESRI International User Conference. When creating a cached map service, create an ArcMap “group layer” containing all the layers for each specific scale level. By grouping layers by scale, you can quickly turn off and on the groups to define symbology... Read More...

Post-San Diego Commentary
Monday, August 11, 2008 1:33 PM
I intended to blog once or twice during the ESRI International User Conference , but found my conference schedule and meetings all-consuming. This was our seventh time exhibiting at the conference, and I think it was the best one yet. ArcGIS Server 9.3 is what we hoped it would be, the new/emerging developer APIs are valuable, and I generally think ESRI is on... Read More...

The Internet will never take off because my 14.4 modem ties up my phone line
Wednesday, January 30, 2008 7:11 PM
I’m an avid reader of James Fee’s popular GIS blog , and I’m sometimes tempted to weigh in with a comment , but then I wonder if instead it is best left to people wanting to vent. There have been some good discussions lately, so I decided to comment. This is all reminiscent of everyone kvetching about ArcIMS 3.0 in the summer of 2001, before ArcIMS went on to... Read More...

Thinking about cartography and WMS layers
Friday, September 14, 2007 5:08 PM
Web Map Service (WMS) layers allow organizations to incorporate spatial data from other places, and clients are now routinely integrating WMS layers into their ESRI-centric applications. I'm going to discuss a couple of the cartographic issues that can crop up with this. When a user switches on a WMS layer, the map viewer requests the data directly from the... Read More...

Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:05 PM
Once you delve into the ArcXML Programmer’s Reference Guide you notice that the cartographic capabilities of ArcIMS are increased, when compared with those offered in through ArcIMS Author - ArcMAP provides a solid UI to define your map service symbology, whereas to take advantage of the symbology options not available in ArcIMS Author, you must update the ArcXML...

Some reasons I like ESRI technology
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 8:56 PM
We’ve been working with ESRI software for more than 7 years now. From a pure business perspective, there are many reasons Latitude has focused mostly on ESRI products. But it's not the business side that excites me -- it's the technology. Here are a few reasons I like ESRI technology: Web ADF - I recall last summer sitting down with Steve to discuss some...
