I'm currently without an ArcServer to serve out time enabled map services, so I got interested in seeing how well Explorer Online works with time enabled data. I time-enabled a test shapefile on ArcMap locally to make sure it worked, and although I can compress and drag the compressed shapefile into Explorer Online, I guess that there's no way Explorer Online sees the shapefile as time enabled. The docs for Explorer Online http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/help/index.html#/Display_data_from_a_specific_time_span/015... say "When the map contains a layer based on a time-enabled map, image, or KML based service, the Time Navigator will be shown at the bottom of the map." Well, no Time Navigator shows up for me. The online help seems to only mention time-enabled services. I guess I'm going to have to get ArcServer going again.
