When working with non-service-based data in ArcGIS Explorer (AGX) (e.g. shapefiles, fGDBs, etc), is there a way to enter a specific map scale to zoom to or are the zoom scales fixed? Can they be overridden? What about when one consumes a Bing/Google map service in AGX? When a web app consumes such a service, clearly each "tick" on the zoom tool corresponds with a fixed map scale defined by the service.
How does AGX behave in this regard "out of the box", when interacting with map services, and when interacting with a combination of local data and map service data? Using AGX 900, I don't even see the current scale displayed, e.g. 1:24,000 or whatever, like one would see in ArcMap.
