You can go here to find links to the basemaps... http://links.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/en/arcmap931/layers The basemaps work in 9.3 or later. The don't work in earlier versions because the coordinate system (Web Mercator) was not supported. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Can you provide us with the URL to your GIS server? Then we can try it out. Thanks, Mike ... View more

What product are you using? ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, ArcGIS Explorer Online? I don't, however, think there is a way to always keep all of them open, if that's what you want. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Some people use arcgis.com to share other types of data, such as layer and map packages. These files can be quite large, because they contain the actual data. Thus, the 2GB of space is useful in this case. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Can you explain a little more on what you're trying to do? Currently, you can open web maps created in ArcGIS.com inside of ArcGIS Desktop v10. Mike ... View more

Most of our base maps contain "modern" information in them. We do have a shaded relief base map, with no labels or roads, but there are no rivers in it. Mike ... View more

Jin Lee, What version of ArcGIS Server are you running? I suspect ArcGIS Server .NET v 9.3.1 with IIS. I believe you've encountered a bug. The problem is you have a folder name that begins with a number. This causes the server to return some invalid information, and thus, arcgis.com can't connect to your server. You can either upgrade your server to the latest version, or simply try renaming your folder named 2005 so that it begins with a letter. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The gallery shows a list of hand picked items... There is a link on the right side of the page that says "Most Recent". Clicking that may show you your layer package...as long as you don't wait too long because as people share their items, the most recent list changes. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I agree it is a bit confusing.  Layer files (LYR) are currently not shown in ArcMap because they don't actually contain any data. Thus, the likelihood of them working by someone other than the person who created it is small. That being said, you can open the layer file from the arcgis.com website by clicking the Open link, which will launch ArcMap. I suggest you create a layer package and upload that instead. Then you will be able to see and access it directly from ArcMap. Also, anyone who can see the layer package will be able to open it. Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

Nice idea. I'll pass it along. Mike ... View more

Yes, it is still the case. Thanks, Mike ... View more

It's a ongoing discussion and no release date has been set. Sorry. Thanks, Mike ... View more

From your email I'm assuming you are in Germany... The best way to go is to talk to a distributor. They will get you the answer you need. Here's a contact list. http://www.esri.com/apps/company/contact/index.cfm?fa=distributor.lookup&country=Germany Thanks, Mike ... View more

No worries Ted. Glad it seems to be working. And thanks for always pushing the software to the limit! Mike ... View more

Can you just ignore the error in your script? In our experience, a time out can occur, but the file does upload successfully. Let me know if you find otherwise as you have quite large files. We are currently investigating various ways to fix the time out problem, but it's not resolved yet. Thanks, Mike ... View more
