Esri's GeoInquiries reference some national standards, but I am wondering if anyone has looked at how these correspond to the TEKS standards.

I love this latest post on the Esri Insider by Jack. It's particularly relevant to Living Atlas of the World users and contributors. http://blogs.esri.com/esri/esri-insider/2015/03/04/web-gis-and-esris-massive-global-library-of-content/?utm_source=esri&utm_medium=email&utm_term=98201&utm_content=headline&utm_campaign=globe_2015

The basemap services are all cached, and not downloadable. However, Esri does offer a product called Data Appliance for ArcGIS, which contains the same basemap services. You can read more about the Data Appliance here -http://www.esri.com/data/basemaps.html.

Hi Robert, There are actually a few ways you could accomplish this, and you would just choose the one that best meets your workflow needs. 1. Probably the most common method is using hyperlinks. You can find out how to create and manage hyperlinks here - http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00s500000004000000.htm 2. Another alternative is html popups. These are very similar to hyperlinks, except that they will open the picture or pdf in a small html popup within ArcMap, instead of using the file's default application (e.g. Acrobat Reader for pdfs). You can find out about html popups here - http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Setting_HTML_pop_up_properties_for_feature_layers/00s50000002r000000/ 3. If you just want to have users see a picture for the segment, you could use a Raster Attribute. This stores an image as an attribute value directly on the table, instead of linking out to a separate file, like hyperlinks and html popups. You can find out about raster attributes here - http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//009t000001np000000 4. Finally, if your sewer data is in the geodatabase, you can take advantage of Geodatabase Attachments. This lets you attach the multiple pictures or pdfs to the actual data. It does require an ArcEditor or ArcInfo license to enable and create the attachements, but users with an ArcView license can read them. You can find out more about attachments in the geodatabase here - http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001t000003vt000000.htm Hope that helps.

Have you tried geodata.gov? Most non-classified federal data is available there. There is a specific link for Fire Mapping that may be of interest. Good luck.

Currently, if you assign a domain to a field in a feature class which has subtypes, the domain is not recognized unless you explicitly assign it to the field for each individual subtype. Please alter the behavior to automatically assign the new domain to each of the subtypes. This would be a big time saver.

The current limit on the number of observers in the Observer Points tool is 16. While the nature of the tool's output makes a much larger number impractical, it does seem that the 16 limit could be increased to something like 24 observers, and still get results that were easy to interpret.

When classifying a layer on a numeric field, the default number of significant digits for the class range label is 10. For the vast majority of data, this is way too much, and makes reading the legend difficult. You can change the label properties on a layer by layer basis, but this is clumsy. The default number of significant digits should be decreased to 6 at the most.

The current tool for displaying XY data in ArcMap allows you to specify fields for the x and y coords and a z value. It would be terrific if it would also allow you to use measure values as well. There are a lot of types of natural resource related data (hydrology and seismology for example), that come in text format, complete with station measures. Creating the route feature classes from this type of data is more difficult than it needs to be. There are tools available in ArcScripts that allow you to import text files with measure values, but this would be better in core.
