Then choose 'Add WMS Server' (using GeoServer) at MassGIS.Add 'GIS Servers' (instead of a shapefile, database connection, etc.).In ArcMap, add cambbgrp.shp to an empty Data Frame (to set the coordinate system and zoom to Cambridge).Otherwise, get xml-tagged error messageĭemonstrate use of web services from within ArcMap.Note that some services only produce maps at particular scales Enter these MassGIS URLs in a web browserĭo you recognize the meaning of the parameters? Play with the values.In this case, the web mapping service (WMS) protocol from the Open Geospatial Consortium.Recognize utility of open standards for interoperable geospatial web services.Recognize pros and cons of client/server workload balancing.What about iPhone maps and navigation tools?.What about map 'mashups' on top of Google Maps and Google Earth?.Yahoo Maps, Google Earth, Mapquest, etc.Do Internet GIS exercises in Lab Exercise #8 on Monday.Sample topics from PDF-formatted powerpoint slides.
