8. Organize data into logical groupings
Basemaps Operational Layers
Geographic frame of reference Show a focused item of interest
Contain static vector Support functionality
and raster data of the application
Reusable in multiple applications Displayed on top of base map
10. Google Maps base maps

11. Google Maps operational layers
• Street overlay for imagery

• Photos
• Videos
• Wikipedia
• StreetView
• Web cams
• Bicycle routes
12. Some ArcGIS Server examples
• Orange County Property Appraiser Map
• City of St George
• North Vancouver Projects
• Solar Boston
• City of Greeley Property Information Map
13. Authoring a basemap
• Design map for cache scales
- Add your tiling scheme scales
to the ArcMap dropdown list
- Web Mercator is „standard‟
• Group layers by scale level
- Only have to set the scale range
at the group layer level
- Copy layers between groups
15. Pre-compute when possible
• Annotation versus labels
• Query or tool results
• Projection
- Best = no projection
• Cache
16. Data tips
• ArcSDE geodatabase tips
- Tune ArcSDE
- Use direct connect
• Spatial indexes
- Keep up to date
- Correct size relative to map extent
• Attribute indexes
- Use for joins and common queries
18. Cached tiles
• Pre-draw map tiles and serve them to clients
• Best performance and scalability
• Standard for online maps (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc)
• Requires you to create and
maintain cache
19. What should you cache?
• Base maps
• Operational layers that satisfy one of the following:
- High volumes of traffic
- Don‟t change often
- Cover small scales only
20. Dynamically drawn map services
• Server retrieves data, draws an image, sends image
to client
• Slower than caching, but advantages like labeling,
dynamic layers and more..
21. Data that‟s OK to draw dynamically
• Real-time data
• Frequently-changing data with large scope
• Internal maps accessed by just a few people
22. Client-side graphics
• Server sends geometries and attributes to client
• Features drawn in browser
23. What should you draw with client-side graphics?
• Interactive operational layers for mashups
• Layers that need to be thematically symbolized on
the fly
• Query or geoprocessing results
• Web editing: Feature Services
25. Sharing as Services

29. Hosted Mapping on ArcGIS Online
• Sharing the easy way
- No Server to buy, install or maintain
- Scales automatically
- No Firewall or IT issues
• Limitations
- Only Tiled Map and Feature Service supported
- Data is private to each service
• When to use
- Public facing services
- Desktop Users

32. Dynamic Layers: The Concept
• New behavior with the map service that allows for
per-request changes to the map
• Optional capability of map services
• Allows for: Application
- Updating renderers and symbols
- Removing and reordering layers http json
- Changing layer data sources
- Adding new layers from registered data sources REST

33. Thematic Mapping
• When do I use dynamic layers instead of feature
layers on the client for thematic mapping?
- large number of features
- complex geometries that cannot be generalized
- when it provides a performance advantage
• Each approach has tradeoffs
- e.g. Client side features scale better and provide more
interactive behavior
- Generate renderer can be used with both approaches
