OGC web services support in ArcGIS Explorer

SeanGrant — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:17:56 GMT

Currently the only OGC web service format you can add is KML. Is there the ability (or will there be the ability) to be able to simply go to Add Content and connect to a WFS, WMS...etc?

If there isn't, I guess I can add it to the Ideas site.

Thanks!

Hi Sean,
With the current release, you can connect and add WMS to ArcGIS Explorer. I also agree that adding support for WFS would be a great idea to post!

Thanks,
Andrew

Note that WMS services won't work if Windows is set to a regional settings where a "," is used for the decimal separator instead of a ".", for example the german regional settings.
