I had posted last month that I was disappointed that Zillow didn’t have updated Bird’s Eye View images while Virutal Earth did. Looks like Zillow has finally gotten around to adding more Bird’s Eye View options. The following location now have Bird’s Eye View:
Our aerial Bird’s Eye coverage has nearly doubled in the [...]

A couple readers emailed me to complain that I forgot to add the new Java ArcGIS Server course to my blog in addition to the .NET ones. Just an oversight I assure you.

While I did post a lower score than my 3 year (to be fair he will be 4 next week so it isn’t as bad as it looks) old son at miniature golf today, he’s quite the natural. He handles the rubber putter better than I do.

I was checking the weather tonight to see if there was going to be any rain tomorrow morning (it appears that will be the case) and saw that Weather.com dumped their proprietary mapping and is now using Virtual Earth.

I had seen some Virtual Earth maps on Weather.com, but this is the first time I’ve seen [...]

I’ve said before this Arc”Whatever” stuff is more confusing than helpful. From an email I received yesterday:
James, hello!
I got spoiled with Google Earth! When I downloaded ArcExplorer today, I expected something similar to Google Earth, but instead I got this!

FYM (for my information), does ArcGIS have something like Google Earth?
I’m amazed any of [...]

I’ve not really written anything up on Google’s KML Search because it really is irrelevant to me. One still can’t install Google Earth in corporate settings without paying for pro so why would I bother since none of my clients can install it (can you imagine if Adobe had such a restriction on Acrobat [...]

The good news is that the new/old Planet GS built on Python is just about ready to go. I’ve got the DNS to change over so as soon as that takes, we’ll be back to having a [...]

Well the house is no longer mine and the moving van has left. I’m glad that is over, but I’m only halfway there.

I had a problem. I sold my house about a month ago (which is good in this market) but hadn’t found a place to buy. Taking the raw MLS results and using online mapping tools to see relationships between houses/schools/roads/airports/railroads/etc is harder than it should be.
First off I figured I’d just do it [...]

Dealy Geomatics has written up a “Hands-on” post about their introduction to ArcGIS Server.
Having never messed with ArcGIS Server before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I found was a software suite that had some very robust features, but was sorely missing some very obvious things right out of the box.
An interesting take from [...]
