Barb is right - however we are also developing a web application which
will replace the current MEGIS orthoviewer, and will consume any service
that we have in WMS.
 
Also if you have staff regularly using simple apps like Google Earth
keep in mind that it can consume WMS as well.  The directions are right
on the WMS web site.

A WMS is not a web application that you can see in a web browser.  You
have to add it as a service to a GIS software application.  I think it's
a bit more technical than anybody in this office will want to do.

Barb,

 

We should probably have a little demonstration for people on how the web
mapping service works.  I would guess others besides planning might like
to use it occasionally.

The Maine Office of GIS and the GeoLibrary Board provide imagery web
mapping services (WMS) for public consumption.  This is a great way to
get imagery into your map without having to keep copies of the imagery
at your site.  For more details see http://www.maine.gov/geolib/wms.htm
<http://www.maine.gov/geolib/wms.htm> .

We have recently added six-inch color orthophotos (dated April 11 2006)
for Hampden to the collection.
