Yes. The plan for the future is that you'll be able to create cached map services out of layer packages you upload. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Thanks for reporting this problem. As a workaround, enable compatibility view. From The Tools menu of IE8, select Compatibility View.  This problem will be addressed in the next update of ArcGIS.com. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Presently, you can only add map services as layers to web maps (and ArcGIS Explorer Online). We're working on supporting layer packages and "web enabling" them so that they can be added over a web map. Layer packages are layer files with the data packaged up with them. We will never be able to directly dispaly ArcMap layer files over the Web map because there is no data associated with them. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Well, a few things could be happening here. 1. Basemaps don't have a legend. So if your map just has a basemap in it, then the legend will be empty. 2. If you've added layers to your map from a local GIS server that is not accessible on the Web (i.e., behind your firewall), ArcGIS.com will not be able to generate a legend from it. If the above don't apply, perhaps you can share your web map with everyone and provide the URL to it here. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Fawna - Are you having trouble clicking the Basemap button on the toolbar of the Map? Can you provide more details? Thanks, Mike ... View more

John, What is the URL you are using to try to connect to your server? Is your server public? Are you using the REST endpoint to connect to your server? This is different than the URL you use to connect in ArcGIS Desktop. It would be something like this: http://<your server>/arcgis/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer Thanks, Mike ... View more

OK, I installed Google Chrome 6.0.408.1 and it works for me... I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Thanks, Mike ... View more

I've tried this on a Windows machine configured with French, using the French version of firefox and am not able to reproduce this problem. If you have any further information on how to reproduce it, that would be helpful. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Well, Ted... You seem to be ahead of the game. I can only find (easily), Google Chrome 5 beta, which is version 5.0.375.55. Installing the version 6 beta seems to take more work... So, since this works in my version, perhaps we can assume that this is a Google 6 beta bug? We'll keep an eye out. Perhaps you can downgrade your Google browser? Mike ... View more

Simon, I too am able to add your service, so I'm not exactly sure why you can't when on your network. You might try adding the map service directly to the map via the Add dialog on the toolbar of the map. Choose to search "A GIS Server" and put the REST url in the URL box.  If you find out anything more about why it's not working, let us know. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Can you share the URL to your web service so we can try it out? How are you trying to add your map service? Can you provide the steps you are doing? thanks, Mike ... View more

So the basemap list never displays for you?  I have seen this behavior once myself (on an english version), but was unable to reproduce it consistently. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Just FYI Ted... We've fixed the basemap/multiple layers appearing in TOC issue on our development servers. Thanks again for your help...it makes a difference! Mike ... View more

Great video! I am able to reproduce this problem. Thanks Ted, Mike ... View more
