Abstract3D Navigation Applications: ArcGIS Server and Very Large Data SetsTrack: Charting and Data Collecting Author The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates and maintains 25,000 miles of navigable channels and 196 commercial lock and dam sites and is responsible for harbors and waterways in 41 states. The USACE's Army Geospatial Center publishes Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (IENC) data for over 8500 nautical miles of navigable waterways. The IENC program began limited distribution of 3D viewable IENC data in 2009 using Esri's ArcGIS Enterprise Server. This server based web map service leverages publicly available, high quality satellite imagery and existing 3D visualization tools while allowing mariners to navigate in real time on our Nation's inland waterways. Current year improvements to the underlying geodatabase include additional data layers from the original S-57 feature list, more robust data attribution, and the addition of user help add-ons. Unique end-user applications and customized clients are important additions, and are highlighted in this year's presentation.
