Looks great. Thanks!
Auburn and Lewiston have spring 2006 0.25 ft pixel photography
to donate if you are still interested. The problem is delivery-Auburn’s alone
is 150 Gb uncompressed.

Subject: NAIP 2007 WMS
The Maine
Office of GIS and the GeoLibrary Board have provided a preliminary web mapping
service for the NAIP 2007 data. We would like you to try it out and let
us know how it works for you.
A WMS
service is not a web application which you can see in a web browser, it
requires you to add it to some GIS software. For example in ArcGIS you
would go to "Add Data - GIS Servers - Add WMS Server" and then paste
in the URL below. If you just click on the link below, you will get an
error message in your web browser.
http://geolibportal.maine.gov/wms/mapserv.exe?map=c:\wms\orthos.map&
This service
will be updated (and notices sent to this list when that happens) with other
imagery throughout the winter/spring. Also we will eventually add a 5m
overview of the NAIP data to speed performance.
If you are
unfamiliar with NAIP data, it is a statewide 1-meter color orthophoto
collection from USDA, summer 2007 (leaf-on imagery). Metadata are
available at
http://geolibportal.maine.gov (just search
on 'naip').
This service
has been successfully tested in ArcGIS, MapInfo, Google Earth, QGIS, and gvSIG.
It currently does not work with MapWindow - we're looking into why. Note
to QGIS users - make sure you specify image type PNG24 or it will not look
good. The service by default is provided in lat/long, but it will also
work in UTM, State Plane, Lambert, Albers, and probably any other projection
system.
Any comments
please direct them to me personally (off-list).
