ArcGIS.com doesn't really support the workflow you are trying to achieve. That being said, ArcGIS.com does support edting features in a Feature Service running on ArcGIS server. You could try to build something using multiple web maps (one for each user), but it probably wouldn't give you the tailored user experience you may need. You'll probably have to build your own custom application, perhaps using the JavaScript API. Check out some of the editing samples in the JavaScript API... http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

No ArcGIS.com doesn't support uploading tables at this time. However, if you know JavaScript, this sample shows you how you can write your own application that overlays a CSV file over an ArcGIS.com web map. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/ags_mapwithtable.html#webprint Mike ...

There seems to be a problem with the map service itself. From my testing, I can get the service to return a good map image when requesting the image without reprojecting it (which is why it displays in the first map with a custom basemap). However, when requesting that the map service reproject the image to Web Mercator (the coordinate system of the default basemaps), the server returns a blank image. Here are some suggestions that I can think of: Are you seeing any error messages in the log files of your server? Is the coordinate system correctly specified in the map document? I can see that the coordinate system appears to be set to 2953, or New Brunswick Stereographic. When you open the MXD and look at the data frame and layer properties, is the coordinate system set properly? Are you serving up this service from an MSD file? An MSD is an optimized MXD. You create it from the Map Service Publishing toolbar in ArcMap. Run the "analyze" tool to checks for errors. This may turn up some error regarding the coordinate system. Hope this helps, Mike ...

Thank you for reporting this problem. It should be fixed now. You will need to update your map to correct the bad characters then save your map again. Please let us know if you encounter any further problems. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Presently, layer packages can only be uploaded and downloaded (to be viewed in ArcGIS Desktop and Explorer). There is no support for viewing the layer package in a web application. This is something we're working on. When we do release this feature it will likely be a premium feature (for a fee). ... View more

Unfortunately, you can't change the zoom slider. The scale levels are determined by the base map you're using. You can, however, set your own custom basemap. When you Add layers to your map, there is an option that appears to use the layer as a basemap instead. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Esri doesn't have a way to get this... I found these things by searching... According to this post, the only way to find the "vintage" is through their API. http://www.bing.com/toolbox/forums/t/649533.aspx If you can write some code, it seems like the GetImageryMetadata method may help. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc980893.aspx A bit more information from ArcGIS forums... http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/6610-getting-Bing-aerial-imagery-date Bottom line is it seems you need to use their API to determine this. Wouldn't it be nice if they had an interactive application that did this? Mike ... View more

Am I correct in assuming that when you say your map service layers have different levels of access, you mean within arcgis.com? Specifically, you added a map service layer to "my content" then kept it as private. Then you added this layer to your web map, which is public. The web map does not maintain the privacy setting of individual layers inside arcgis.com. The web map only stores the URL to the actual service, not the map service item inside arcgis.com. Thus, even though the item may be private, if the map service the item references is publicly available, it will show up in the web map. One other detail is that the web map currently can't display map services that have security enabled on the service itself, outside of arcgis.com Does this answer your question? Thanks, Mike ...

If you're having proxy issues, I'd suggest you contact Esri Technical Support. However, you don't need to sign in to add a Bing basemap. Choose  File > Add Data > Add Basemap and choose the basemap you want. Alternatively just go to the ArcMap Basemaps group in ArcGIS.com http://links.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/en/arcmap/layers  and click Open next to the one you want. Thanks, Mike ... View more

You can embed a Web map in a web page. From the ArcGIS.com map viewer (Map tab), there is an option to Share your map. One of the options available is to embed your map in another web page. You simply copy the HTML and paste it into your web page. You can't, however, embed an Explorer NMF file in a web page. Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

You might check the ESRI Data & Maps group on ArcGIS.com http://www.arcgis.com/home/group.html?owner=esri&title=ESRI%20Data%20%26%20Maps There are layer packages in here that you can probably use. You need version 9.3 and above, I believe. I'm not sure these layer packages contains shapefiles, but if you need that, you can probably convert the data. Good Luck, Mike ... View more

Sorry, I don't have any date for you on when the functionality will be available. The technical side of making it work is not that difficult. It's the business side that's more complicated. How do we integrate with our back end business systems so you can buy it and so on... Thanks, Mike ... View more

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to add identify functionality to the embedded map. I agree that it would be a useful feature. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The iPhone app doesn't currently support turning on or off sublayers of a service. You can, however, turn the entire service on or off via the details of the map. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I suspect the REST endpoint of your server is not configured correctly. This recent blog post should help solve your problem. http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgisserver/archive/2010/07/23/Why-don_2700_t-some-of-the-links-work-in-my-ArcGIS-Services-Directory_3F00_.aspx Let us know if this works.
