In July, the Applications Prototype Lab published the Touch AddIn for ArcGIS, this AddIn allowed ArcGlobe users to navigate the globe with touch gestures like pan and pinch. That release was discussed here. One disadvantage of the July release was that users could not use tools like identify, selection or editing concurrently with the touch navigate tool.

Today’s release overcomes that limitation.  Now, touch navigation is always active irrespective of the current tool. This new capability is ideal for editing, for example, the user can position the globe with one hand whilst editing with a pen (or mouse) in the other hand.

Instructions on how to install and use the AddIn are available from the download page here.Contributed by Richie C.
