Mike,
Have tested your new WMS for NAIP2007 in
ArcMap 9.2, and it appears to function well.

Subject: Update: NAIP 2007 WMS
We have discovered that some newer versions of Google Earth
will not work the URL below, it wants the slashes turned forward. The URL
below is corrected for this and has been subsequently tested in all the
software platforms listed below. It still will not work in MapWindow.
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).
