MapMyRun Beta Gets An Update – The Ideal NY Resolution Helper

by

Every Time the Calendar flips over to a new year people all over decide to get it together and get fit… not a bad resolution indeed. Myself, I have no resolution to that effect, however, I am pleased that during the past year I have managed to kick-start my work out routine, having dropped about 30 pounds, a few inches off my waistline, and most important, gotten myself in better physical (and mental) condition that I’ve been in for years. I guess if I was to have a resolution it would be to keep it up and stick with it… a silent resolution of mine is to consider doing a half marathon sometime this year – a full 26 miles simply isn’t a desire of mine, nor does training for one fit into my desired routine.

Wondering About ArcGIS Explorer in 2011? Esri offers a Peek

by

A blog post that recently appeared on the Esri blogs takes a quick look at what’s next for ArcGIS Explore in 2011. Users can expect an updated ArcGIS Explorer Online service to roll out around the time of the Federal User Conference (FeDUC) taking place Jan 19-21 in D.C.  According to the Esri post “We’ll be showcasing the new version of the application at that event”. This new implementation replaces the ribbon, and provides more real estate and a more intuitive user experience when working with maps.  Also coming up are localization (5 languages),  more analysis capabilities, including statistical mapping and support for spatial analysis layers.

Other features:

  • Interoperability with other clients, including a shared notes model with the ArcGIS.com Map Viewer.
  • Improved viewing, query, and analysis via new popups, time-enabled web maps, and simplified query definition capabilities.
  • Support for editing, including editing feature services powered by ArcGIS Server and a shared, cross-client, user experience for both editing feature services and map notes.
  • Easier to share your map information via direct URL access to presentations (no longer opening the application first) which makes it easier for anyone to view, and for you to share your map information.
