Who Moved my GIS?

ESRI is readying the release of ArcGIS 9.2 and there will undoubtedly be changes that affect how you work and / or how your GIS exercises hold up to the rigors of student use.

I’ll organize a 9.2 “debriefing” mid to late August when I return from the ESRI User Conference. In the meantime, take a look at a few of the forthcoming enhancements from ESRI.

We'll likely role out 9.2 during the spring semester since our fall 2006 image is burned and ready to go.

Image Tip

Did you know that you can "drag and drop" images from Windows Explorer onto ArcMap? You can! No more waiting for ArcCatalog to load the images into the contents panel. Save time and browse with Windows Explorer to your image collections (e.g. 2005 Orthophotos).

New Orthophotos are Here!

The 2005 Massachusetts Orthophotos are now available for Western Massachusetts. Visit the MassGIS webstie for details. All orthophotos are available in the SAL on GEO. Just connect to:
\\Geo\datavol\gis\data\us_states\eastusa\ma\Images\Orthophotos\2005 and start viewing gorgeous imagery.
