Overlaying weather information

[StanleyHo]

Hi all,

I need to overlay a small portion of the "World Street Map" with weather information.
How can I do it?

Details of available files:
Number of Files: 2
File format: png (cloud image), pgw (coordinates and other information of the png)

Thanks

After reading around a bit, I notice what I have is actually a world file.

I have a png file (cloud image) and a world file (6 line).

World file content is
0.012500
0.000000
0.000000
-0.012504
70.925000
28.677712

How can I overlay my image with the information provided in the file?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Because you image is probably going to be updated quite frequently take a look at
Creating custom dynamic map layer at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.DynamicMap...

The weather overlay information is on demand.
They will load the image depending on the whether they wants it or not.

Can you access the data as WMS layer by any chance?
In this case the solution is quite simple. Just add WMS layer to your map with the URL of the cloud service.

I was able to find some services being hosted by the National Weather Service

Hi all,

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late reply.

I don't have access internet ability. Thus I can only load it through files stored in the system.
Data are pass from the internet to the internal network via some means.

Hi,

What format do they come in?
Are this shp files? If they are then the bad news is that we don't support them.
You would have to package them and load them with Runtime.
But if they change frequently it's going to be a lot of work to keep them up to date.

If you have ArcGIS server available I would suggest publishing them on the server and pull them in runtime via REST end point.
