Our ArcGIS Flex Site

BrendanLee — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:31:12 GMT

Reviving a thread from the old forums. Hope I'm not redoing what someone already did.

At long last, our web site is available to the public. We've been using these in house for almost a year so it's been a long time coming. We decided to go with several focused applications rather than one that did everything.

A big thanks to all those that have helped with code samples and offered advice on these forums. Your help has been invaluable! I learned so much just reading through the posts.

Here they are:

http://maps.cityofhenderson.com/public/council/council.html
http://maps.cityofhenderson.com/public/parks/parks.html

Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi Brendan,

Liking what you have done, looking great!

Can I ask you about your link to StreetView?
I have this working in an internal site I am writing, but not in a custom window without all the google bits. Do you need to sign up and pay for something to have streetview look like this?

Thanks for any help
Tony

Tony,
Here is a sample that shows the google code to get a street view object.
View source to see the little JS needed.

The API and more information can be found here

The use of any of the Google mapping products is not allowed on internal sites unless you pay for licensing. I looked it to this for a client and that information came straight from a Google representative. I can't remember the cost but it was not worth it to our client.

Looks great! Are you going to incorporate a terrain hillshade in the basemap?

Thanks for the feedback.

We have lots of ideas for future enhancements. We've also discussed different base maps and hillshade is one of them.

Nice sites. I really like your buttons. Can you tell me if you made them yourself or purchased them somewhere?

I agree your buttons are great. The copy to clipboard and get directions are impressive. I too am interested if you did these in house or farmed it out?

The icons for the buttons are a combination of in-house custom graphics and those that came with ESRI's FlexViewer. Most of them are custom however.
