ArcGIS Online What’s New in 9.3 / 2008 Release • Imagery – Substantial Update (> 40%) to USA High-Res Imagery – New User Contributed Imagery Available – Virtual Earth and i-cubed Premium Maps Services
• Street Maps – Complete Update of World and North America Maps – Increased Resolution for Select Urban Areas – Expanded Coverage for Other International Areas – Complete Updates to Reference Overlays for Imagery
• Topo Maps – Complete Update to USA Topo Maps (1:250k, 100k, 24k) – Includes Hillshade and Enhanced Map Image Quality
• Shaded Relief and Land Cover Imagery – Each updated with two additional levels of detail
• Other Base Maps – Hosted and federated content services at the Desktop Resource Center – Many available now; demographic and hydrographic services are coming
Demo – ArcGIS Online Premium Services
ArcGIS Explorer • is free, lightweight, easy to use • is an ArcGIS Server client, and a way to provide access to enterprise-based maps and tasks • can integrate ArcGIS content and tasks from many sources • can combine other content and information on a map • is a way to present and share information geographically • can integrate Web services
Geographic exploration, integration, and presentation Extensible through tasks

GeoPDF - Background • PDF is the most popular format to export maps to. • PDF is viewable by all standard computers today as the defacto standard for data exchange. • ArcGIS has always supported exporting maps in PDF format • At each release we improve our PDF export • At 9.3 we were able to greatly improve our PDF export in many areas (working closely with Adobe).

Enabling PDF for Maps
ArcGIS 9.2 Introduced PDF Layer Export
Enabling PDF for Interactive Geospatial Content
ArcGIS 9.3 PDF Layers Now Nested
Enabling PDF for Interactive Geospatial Content
ArcGIS 9.3 Feature Attributes Exported as PDF Object Data
What can you do with Geospatial content in a PDF? • View Page • Display coordinate readouts • Find a location based on XY • Measure distances on the map. (Note: the measurement tools requires the PDF be ‘unlocked’/’reader enabled’ using Acrobat Pro first.) • View attribute values

6. Hit Which Key? (Hot Keys) – F1 (after focus) in TOC to get shortcuts (9.2) – Right click in options dialog to get “What’s This” help (pre 9.2) – Drag box to identify (9.2) •
Right click on layer to go to Properties (9.3)
– Right click in data view for new options (9.2) • • •
Select while identifying Identify while selecting Center display
5. Check What Box? (Options or Settings) – Mouse Wheel Centers on Cursor (9.3) – Versioning tab on Editor Properties dialog for reconcile options (9.2) – Display of attributes dialog after creating a new feature (9.2) – Stretch geometry proportionally (pre 9.2)
4. What toolbar/menu was that on? – Create Viewer window - added to toolbars (9.2, 9.3) – On the fly snapping on all sketch context menus (9.3) – HTML Popup (9.3) – Merge Network Features

3. So That’s What Geoprocessing is for! – Update Spatial Reference (9.2) – Table to Domain (pre 9.2) – Create Feature Class (pre 9.2) – Create Random Points (9.3)
2. Nobody told me I could do that! – One-way replication to file and personal geodatabases (9.3) – Summary button on Label Manager dialog (9.2) – New Schematics display options (9.3) – Merge geometries during conflict resolution (9.3)
1. Why couldn’t I do that before? – Direct connect to geodatabases on previous releases (9.3 – separate install) – Crash dump reports (9.3) – Table sorting, aliases, joins improvements (9.3) – Bookmark manager (9.2) – Legend symbols show transparency (9.3) – Pause labeling (9.3) – Version changes viewer (9.3)
