I am able to see the Flood Data Availability and Preliminary Maps Issued (I didn't try all layers). In looking at the capabilities file, it seems like many of the layers have scale dependencies that define scale ranges outside the visible range of ArcGIS Online map viewer. Here's the definition for the Flood Data Availability layer, note the ScaleHint tag. <Layer queryable="1"><Name>HDM:Q3_COUNTYMAP</Name><Title>Flood Data Availability</Title><SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS><LatLonBoundingBox maxy="71.4062352845" maxx="145.8180850852" miny="-14.3755555272" minx="-178.2175984416"/><ScaleHint max="99999999" min="112.23675100210723"/></Layer> Here's the definition for another layer that I can't see: <Layer queryable="1"><Name>Bench_Marks</Name><Title>Bench Marks</Title><SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS><LatLonBoundingBox maxy="64.5106208838" maxx="145.81333305" miny="-14.3733331498" minx="-170.8377777823"/><ScaleHint max="11.971880200624106" min="0"/> The scaleHint appears to be set at a very large scale. The ArcGIS Map Viewer only goes down to about 1:4500 if you are using the provided basemaps. This layer seems to require a scale of 1:12.  Could there be an error in this WMS? Thanks, Mike ...

Seems like version 1.4 has an address locator. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2b158c0d94b64f208f45bcae801c2fa0 Here's the forum thread that discusses the template. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/44466-Public-Maps-Gallery-template-version-1.4-Opening-post Thanks, Mike ... View more

I believe you need to apply a transformation to your data in ArcMap. Display the Data Frame properties, Coordinate System tab. Set a transformation. ArcMap does appear to have the necessary transformation, see attached image. Once you have your data displaying correctly in ArcMap in wgs84, then you could export a shapefile that will display in ArcGIS Online. As far as your other question, if you want to display more than 1000 features, then you'll need to purchase a subscription to ArcGIS Online when it becomes available later this year. With a subscription, you can create services hosted by ArcGIS Online. Hope this helps, Thanks, Mike ... View more

Yes, you should be able to publish. Thanks, Mike ... View more

There are some license restrictions with arcview.  For example, you can�??t publish a geometric network network analyst dataset, cadastral, etc.  These require the appropriate license to copy these datasets from one geodatabase to another, which is what we need to make the package that gets published to the server.

If your map is shared publicly, then anyone can access it, even without signing in. They will see the map in the same viewer in ArcGIS.com. Thanks, Mike ... View more

This ability is not supported in the out-of-the-box embedded map. You might be able to write your own application. Unfortunately, like you I am not much of a JavaScript programmer, so I'd suggest posting to the JavaScript API forum. http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/15-ArcGIS-API-for-JavaScript Thanks, Mike ...

Chris, Glad you got it working. We've made some fixes in ArcGIS Online to better handle features without geometry, so this won't be an issue moving forward. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Randy, It's pretty unlikely that we'd do that as a URL parameter. I suspect it would be rather slow to open a map, as we'd have to send a query to the server to retrieve a value, extract it's extent, then center the map. Thanks, Mike ... View more

We have made some changes to how the zoom works for the next release of the template that will determine the 'best fit extent' for the resulting address and zoom to that. Currently, the template uses a hardcoded a zoom level. Here�??s the updated code if you want to try it this in your app. You'll need to replace the existing findLocation and showResults functions in layout.js with these. //use the locator to find the input location function findLocation() {   var searchText = dojo.byId('searchField').value;   //clear any existing map graphics   map.graphics.clear();     var address = {};   address[configOptions.placefinder.singlelinefieldname] = searchText;     var options = {       address:address,       outFields:["*"]     };     locator.addressToLocations(options); } //display the location results on the map function showResults(candidates) {   var candidate;   var geom;   //hide the info window if displayed   if(map.infoWindow.isShowing){     map.infoWindow.clearFeatures();     map.infoWindow.hide();   }   var zoomExtent;   dojo.every(candidates, function (candidate) {     if (candidate.score > 80) {       geom = candidate.location;       map.infoWindow.setTitle(i18n.tools.search.title);       map.infoWindow.setContent(candidate.address);       map.infoWindow.show(geom);       zoomExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent(candidate.attributes.West_Lon, candidate.attributes.South_Lat,candidate.attributes.East_Lon, candidate.attributes.North_Lat, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid:4326}));                   console.log(zoomExtent.toJson());       return false; //break out of loop after one candidate with score greater  than 80 is found.     }   });   if (geom !== undefined) {     //if the extent is constrained check to see if geocode result is within extent.If it is then zoom otherwise don't.     if((configOptions.constrainmapextent === 'true' || configOptions.constrainmapextent === true) && !webmapExtent.contains(geom)){       dojo.byId('searchField').value = i18n.tools.search.errors.missingLocation;       map.infoWindow.hide();     }else{         map.setExtent(esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(zoomExtent));     }   }else{     //no matches found     dojo.byId('searchField').value = i18n.tools.search.errors.missingLocation;   } } Thanks, Mike ...

Chris Chappell, Can we get the source data for this layer? It appears that the 28th feature is missing geometry. Thanks, Mike ... View more

ckchappell, Can you share the webmap with the issue publicly and post a link to it here? What web browser and version are you using? Thanks, Mike ... View more

Unfortunately, I'm not a  coordinate system expert. However, I believe you have to apply a transformation to your data to get it to align correctly. This text is from Wikipedia, which appears to describe the shift you are seeing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid#Datum_shift_between_OSGB_36_and_WGS_84 In Cornwall the WGS 84 longitude lines are about 70 metres east of their OSGB 36 equivalents, this value rising gradually to about 120 m east on the east coast of East Anglia. A geodetic transformation between OSGB 36 and other terrestrial reference systems (like ITRF2000, ETRS89, or WGS 84) can become quite tedious if attempted manually. The most common transformation is called the Helmert datum transformation, which results in a typical 7 m error from true. The definitive transformation from ETRS89 that is published by the OSGB is called the National Grid Transformation OSTN02.[2] This models the detailed distortions in the 1936�??1962 retriangulation, and achieves backwards compatibility in grid coordinates to sub-metre accuracy. Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

The Share As option will be available with ArcGIS Desktop 10.1. You will be able to publish to your own ArcGIS Server, and to ArcGIS Online if you purchase an organizational subscription.

Emily, We have tracked down the problem with the counties appearing on top of the contents. Unfortunately, there is not an immediate fix,as the issue is a bit complicated. This will not be fixed in our upcoming release. However, it is logged as an issue that we will address in the following release. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks, Mike ... View more
