7/22/08—New ArcGIS Online World User Imagery services, CSP_Imagery_World and CSP_Imagery_World_2D, are now available containing data provided through ESRI’s ArcGIS Online Content Sharing Program (CSP). With this initial release, this service contains data for the:

• State of Massachusetts
• York County, South Carolina

The CSP_Imagery_World and CSP_Imagery_World_2D services contain 1m or better imagery collected in the past few years for their areas of interest. The services are meant to be overlaid on the ESRI_Imagery_World 2D and 3D services to provide more detailed or current imagery than the ESRI_Imagery_World services.

Additional imagery for other areas of interest will be added to the World User Imagery services in subsequent updates. The CSP_Imagery_World and CSP_Imagery_World_2D services will include medium- to high-resolution imagery (ranging from 15m to 1m or better) acquired from various sources. The services will only include the areas and levels for which imagery is available through the CSP and will otherwise return no data. ArcGIS Online services users will have access to free, high quality, useful data made available by organizations who wish to share data inside and outside their organization.
