[Geomoose-users] map-source; only 2 valid types?

[Brian Fischer]

Brent,
These two layer types that are on my wish list to integrate into GeoMOOSE,  as well as Tilecache layer types.  Maybe we could pool some money together to have Dan implement them??  As Dan and I have talked about this in the past the tricky part is whether you need to be able to print these layer types to .pdf.  That requirement would be a much larger effort than just making them viewable.

Dan,
Met Council just released a new basemap AGS Rest API service for the twin cities.  See snippet from email below.  Jessica did mention she tested this and got it to work with OpenLayers.  It's pretty nice and sure would be cool to show it can be used in GeoMOOSE!

Metropolitan Council ArcGIS Base Map Services

The Metropolitan Council is making available two cached base map services through ArcGIS Server. The Metropolitan Council base map contains common data layers symbolized and shown appropriately for 10 scale levels; including roadways, water features, political boundaries, Parks, trails, and land marks.  The base map will be updated as necessary to maintain current data - at least quarterly to allow for MetroGIS municipality and road updates.

These services are available for use in within ArcMap, in web applications through use of Rest Services, and as a layer in Google Earth.


 *   BaseMap:  In Web Mercator Projection suitable for use in mashups with Google Maps.

 *   UTMBaseMap:  Same Features and Symbology as BaseMap above, but projected for UTM, better for use with other MetroGIS data.

Currently unimplemented.  The reason is that the actual requests are managed by GeoMOOSE and require full integration in with the catalog to work correctly.  This simply hasn't happened with those two types yet.  ArcGIS93Rest may take a while because I'm not sure anyone has a test server for me to utilize.

Is the documentation http://www.geomoose.org/moose/docs/mapbook.html correct in referring to only 2 valid types (mapserver, wms).   Are other OpenLayers types valid (but undocumented)?   In particular I am interested in utilizing OpenLayers types Google and ArcGIS93Rest.

Thanks,
Brent
