7/9/09—Several new maps were added to ArcGIS Online this past week. As mentioned in our earlier announcement in May, this includes several maps in the Google Maps/Bing Maps tiling scheme. These consist of 12 USA demographic maps featuring recently released 2009 data from ESRI's demographic data team, a world terrain basemap and a world reference overlay map designed for use with thematic maps like demographics, and a world basemap from DeLorme. Also included is a new world topographic map that was compiled to uniform cartography from best available sources assembled from data providers such as the USGS, EPA, FAO, NPS, AND, and TANA. Learn more about the world topographic map in the ESRI Mapping Center.
In addition, a few final updates and additions were made to maps in the traditional ArcGIS Online tiling scheme. This includes a new World IKONOS Cities Imagery map with high-resolution imagery for over 700 metro areas around the world, designed to be overlaid on the USA Prime Imagery or other imagery basemaps. Lastly, there was an update to our world user imagery map with high-resolution imagery for the State of Pennsylvania and Ventura County, California.
