  1. ArcGIS Explorer: ESRI’S ANSWER TO VIEWERS

  2. ARCGIS EXPLORER’S USES ACCESS WEB SERVICES PERFORM GIS TASKS INTEGRATION OF VARIOUS DATA TYPES CREATE A PRESENATION

  3. ARCGIS EXPLORER’S VALUE READY TO USE WEB–BASED CONTENT INDIVIDUAL LAYER SERVICES 2-D MAPS 3-D GLOBES FREELY ACCESSED

  4. Who Has ARCGIS EXPLORER? All DOTD Windows 7 computers should have it Different Versions Newest Version is Build 2500 May not work properly due to video card issues Homepage: http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/explorer Send Service Request if want it or need newest one or technical support

  5. Saving ArcGIS Explorer Maps

  6. Basic ArcGIS Explorer Work Flow • Choose Basemap • Add Content • Perform Task • Make Presentation

  7. Choose Basemap Imagery Streets Topographic OpenSteetMap Imagery with Labels National Geographic Terrain Light Gray Canvas Oceans Bing Maps Bing Maps with Streets US Topo Bings Maps (please note all imagery basemaps taken at different times)

  8. Choose Basemap Part 2 • DeLorme Basemap • World Labels • World Labels (black) • World Time Zones • Population Density 2010 • Projected Growth 2010- 2015 • USA Topo Maps

  9. Add Content

  10. ArcGIS Layers • Layer File (.lyr) – includes symbolization and labeling that reference a data source that resides in another location. Does not contain the actual datasets. • Layer Package (.lpk) – includes data, symbolization, labeling, and metadata

  11. Adding H13000ms006\GISin Windows 7 • In Windows Explorer right click Computer • Select Add Network Location • Click Next • Click Next • Type: \\h13000ms006\GIS • Click Next • Rename it you want • Click Next • Click Finish

  12. MAP CONTENT FILES • Notes • Folders • Views • Links • GIS Service Layers • KML Layers • Feature Layers • Raster Layers • Layer Packages • Image Overlays • Layers based on GeoRSS feeds

  13. KML (KEYHOLE MARKUP LANGUAGE) A XML FILE FORMAT FOR STORING GEOGRAPHY FEATURES KMZ (COMPRESSED KML) THE FORMAT THAT GOOGLE USES When installing software check the box that says you want KML files to be associated with ArcGIS Explorer KML\KMZ .

  14. GIS Web Services • ArcGIS Server • ArcIMS Server • World Map Server

  15. ARCGIS SERVER AND ARCIMS SERVER AMONG THEIR MANY USES ARCGIS AND ARCIMS SERVERS ENABLE PEOPLE TO BRING MAPS DATA TOOLS ON TO THE INTERNET

  16. Adding DOTD GIS Web Service • Click Add Content • Click GIS Services • Click New Server Connection • Select ArcGIS server for Server Type • Type http://gis.dotd.la.gov/arcgis/services for the Server • Click Next • Choose a Service

  17. WORLD MAP SERVER (WMS) AN OPEN SOURCE THAT ALLOWS ONE TO REQUEST MAPS FROM A SERVER OVER THE INTERNET AN EXAMPLE IS NASA’S WORLDWIND

  18. SHAPEFILES A SIMPLE, NONTOPOLOGICAL FORMAT FOR STORING GEOMETRIC LOCATION AND ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION OF GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES ARCVIEW 3X’S NATIVE FORMAT Shapefiles are accessed the same way as layer files

  19. RASTERS Imagine image (.img) bitmap (.bmp) JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg) Portable Network Graphics (.png) Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) Tagged Image File Format (.tif, .tiff) ARC/INFO and Space Imaging BIL (.bil) ARC/INFO and Space Imaging BIP (.bip) ARC/INFO and Space Imaging BSQ (.bsq) DTED Level 0-2 (.dted) ERDAS 7.5 LAN (.lan) ERDAS 7.5 GIS (.gis) JP2 (.jp2), MrSID (.sid) RAW (.raw) NTIF (.ntf) USGS ASCII DEM (.dem) X11 Pixmap (.xpm) PC Raster (.map) PCI Geomatics Database File (.pix) JPC (.jpc) J2C (.j2c) J2K (.j2k) HDF (.hdf) BSB (.kap) ER Mapper ECW (.ecw) Note: Rasters are accessed the same way as layer files

  20. GEODATABASE DATA File Geodatabase – a collection of various types of GIS datasets held in a file system folder Must add GIS Server again! Connect to an ArcSDE database (ArcSDE is ESRI's technology for accessing and managing geospatial data within relational databases.)

  21. Adding ArcSDE Geodatabase

  22. QUERY A point layer ( ), a line layer ( ), an area layer ( ) or a map service layer ( ). ArcGIS Layers and Layer Packages (indicated by the symbol) have been specifically created by their publisher to display the relevant information and therefore cannot have further queries applied.

  23. TEXT FILES ADDRESSES – 123 SMITH STREET, BATON ROUGE, LA 70808 X\Y - LATITUDE/LONGITUDE: 30.12345, -90.67890 U.S. NATIONAL GRID: 15S YT 09843638 MILITARY GRID REFERENCE SYTEM (MGRS): 38S MC 12345678

  24. IMPORTING TEXT FILES

  25. IMPORTING XY

  26. IMPORTING ADDRESESS

  27. GPS DATA FILES • GPS Exchange Format Files (*.gpx) You can add: • Waypoints • Tracks • Routes

  28. IMAGE OVERLAYS • Portable Network Graphics (.PGN) - a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression • represent legends, logos, advisory text such as "Confidential" or "Draft“ • Generally supports presentations

  29. ARCGIS ONLINEhttp://www.arcgis.com/

  30. Search Window

  31. TASKS Find Directions Route Measure Notes Presentations

  32. FIND • A PLACE BY NAME • Place Names • Airport Code • Places of Interest • ZIP codes • ADDRESSES • Street Address (House number and street, or P.O. Box), City, State/Province • Street Address (House number and street, or P.O. Box), Postal Code • Street Address (Street name only), Cross Street, City, State • Street Address (Street name only), Cross Street, Postal Code • COORIDINATES • Geographic • Projected

  33. Directions • From\to (Get position, type address, or drag note) • Customize • Results

  34. FIND ADDRESS Click the Get Position button and click a location on the map.

  35. Options • Show distances in • Miles • Kilometers • Route options • Fastest • Shortest • Display Directions in different languages

  36. Route • Multiple Stops • Return to start check box to return to where the route originated after all other stops have been visited • optimize the sequence of stops based on the fastest or shortest route

  37. FIND ROUTE • provides the means to establish a route that travels among multiple stops. • Paste or type an address in the From Here text box, then click the Add button or press Enter. • Drag a Note that represents a point location from the Contents window to the box you want, then click the Add button or press Enter. • Use the Get Position tool to point at the display to find a location to add as a stop, then click the Add button or press Enter. • Prior to the address's inclusion in the Stops list ArcGIS Explorer will make sure it's a valid address.

  38. MEASURE Point Latitude: 30°00'17"N Longitude: 89°59'54"W Height: 9.122 Feet ►Line Length: 7920.125 Feet ►Polygon Area: 138.442 Acres

  39. NOTES • Select note type (target places point in center of map) • Create Notes Geometry • Note content • Title • Body Text Link Html

  40. IDENTIFY • Works with GIS Layers and Layer Packages • Move the mouse over the feature and click it. A popup window that displays the attributes that the package or layer creator has made available appears.

  41. IDENTIFY EXAMPLE

  42. TRANSPERENCY

  43. SWIPE

  44. View • Bookmarks for locations

  45. PRESENTATIONS • Creating a presentation • Capturing slides • Reviewing Slides • Setting a Slide Title

  46. CREATING PRESENTATIONS • Capturing slides includes: • The current camera position/extent • The current basemap • The visibility of the various map items (what’s on, what’s off) • Any popup windows that are opened and their size and position Does not include: • Individual properties of a map item (symbol, transparency, etc) • Application level settings (navigator position, vertical exaggeration, stars, fog, etc.)

  47. EDITING SLIDES • Delete the slide from the map • Hide the slide: this keeps the slide in the map, but skips it during the presentation • Re-capture the slide: this replaces the selected slide with the current state of the map

  48. REVIEWING SLIDES

  49. SETTING A SLIDE TITLE • Edit Text • Change text position • Change text color and background color • Change Font, size, emphasis

  50. Add-Ins • Adds extra functionality • Examples include Google Street Viewer, Bing Bird’s Eye View, Create Microsoft PowerPoint, Previous Extent/Next Extent, Query
