Getting excited about this year’s 2011 International Esri user conference yet? Perhaps you haven’t booked your travel or lodging yet. Maybe you haven’t registered for the event yet and scored that early bird discount. Perhaps you haven’t checked out the pre-conference educational sessions yet. Perhaps you haven’t filled out your online agenda planner yet. Perhaps you haven’t checked out details of the tweet up yet or you haven’t signed up for the esriuc back channel yet. Perhaps you haven’t considered the co-located events like the Survey Summit, Business Summit, etc… Well, perhaps looking at this extensive slideshow from 2010 will get you motivated! Enjoy and remember to get busy and make those plans – there’s only 2 weeks to go!

The New Esri ocean base layer for ArcGIS Online

by

New today from Esri, an ocean basemap layer for users of ArcGIS Online. The basemap includes bathymetry, marine water body names, undersea feature names, and derived depth values in meters. Land features include administrative boundaries, cities, inland waters, roads, overlaid on land cover and shaded relief imagery.

The basemap currently provides coverage for the world down to a scale of ~1:1m. U.S. waters have higher resolution bathymetry starting at 1:1m scale; bathymetric data was derived from NOAA survey point data. See more information http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/23822/2/
