Free Map Servers Extensions for ArcView 3.x

Access to spatial data as well as advanced mapping and spatial analysis over the Internet is becoming more common. Find information about map server technology and examples of online mapping.

ArcGIS Server
Documentation, tutorials, and tips and tricks for using ArcGIS Server from ESRI. With this previous generation online map serving technology, you can create simple, “out-of-the box” map services with pan, zoom and simple query functions.

AspMap
AspMap is a Web mapping component for embedding spatial data access, display and analysis capabilities in Web applications and services. AspMap supports ASP and ASP.NET.

Free Map Server Software
Want to launch maps over the internet but can’t afford commercial software? Check here for links to free map servers.

Google Earth
Google Earth combines satellite imagery, geographic data and Google’s search capabilities to create a virtual globe application that you can download to your desktop to access online spatial data. Find resources here to help you expand this geographic data viewer application.

Google Maps
Using Google Maps on individual web sites, called map hacking, is a fast and easy way to add geographic information to personal web sites. Listed here are resources to help you understand how to embed Google Maps in your own site.

iMapper
Free user-friendly ArcView extension. The purpose of this extension is to allow ArcView users to display their maps and data to people over the Web in a quick and easy fashion without having to have a map server.

Mapserver
MapServer is an OpenSource development environment for building spatially enabled Internet applications. The software builds upon other popular OpenSource or freeware systems like Shapelib, FreeType, Proj.4, libTIFF, Perl and others.

Map-TV
Map-TV is a mapserver that has a built in web server. This map server uses ESRI shapefile format for data display.

WebView
WebView is an ArcView-Extension that provides you with the possibility to present your Views on the Web or on CD ROM. The extension is wizard based so knowledge of web programming languages is not necessary. Download an evaluation copy from this site.

    Anyone know what the best GIS application is to use on the iPhone web browser interface, safari? I’ve seen a few that seem to work, but we keep losing functionality on certain tools.
    Thanks!
