Abstract
Customizing ArcGIS Server for a Citizen Mapping Application
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Peter Henschel, Brian Fischer, Brian Jensen
Carver County’s GIS office contracted with Houston Engineering Inc. and GeoDecisions to create a Parks and Trails Web Mapping Application. The application was created to promote active living within Carver County by providing citizens with an interactive web map application highlighting the County’s parks and trails system.
The application was built using ArcGIS Server 9.3 technology, utilizing the new JavaScript API. The application functionality includes address search with option to find all parks and trails within a specified distance. Other common tools include trail locator, map tips, measure, map tips, photo points, printing, and the use of tiled map caches.
This presentation will focus on the experiences we gained in developing the application using ArcGIS Server 9.3 and to provide the attendees with lessons learned during the project development process. Topics will include targeted audience expectations, performance, customization, geoprocessing services and map caches.
