4. Map Services –Service that can be consumed from various map platforms like ArcMap, ArcExplorer, Google Maps, AutoCAD, Gaia, etc.

5. Advantages of map services –Combine data from various sources –Data pre-defined / pre-rendered –Data currency

6. Limitations of map services –Display / Rendering –Lack of selections, buffering, tables, etc… –Performance constrained by bandwidth –Server side Data locking Security / Authorization

7. Now What? Refine and expand map service offerings –via use, pilot, feedback, etc –Push use in ArcMap, ArcExplorer Use map services in other map platforms (via WMS) –Google Maps / Earth –Virtual Earth –Gaia

8. What else? Geoprocessing services, geocoders, editing SQL Server 2008 –New spatial data type should support fundamental spatial operations Other WMS servers –mapdotnet http://public.mapdotnet.com/MDNSDemos/CityOfMia miDemo/Default.aspx
