Awesome! Thanks Mike!! Keep up the great work.
Are there plans for WMS low water imagery elsewhere - if so what's is the
schedule?
Are there any plans to offer the imagery other than through the mapping
service?

The Maine Office of
GIS, in cooperation with the Maine GeoLibrary Board, now provide Dept. of
Marine Resources low-tide aerial orthophotos through our OGC-compliant
web mapping service (WMS). This portion of the low-tide imagery is
roughly in the Vinalhaven-MDI-Schoodic area, and consists of half-meter
color orthophotos of coastal areas in this region, all at low tide.
The dates of the flight are August 21-22 2008.
The WMS can be accessed in most GIS software at this URL
(which also has the NAIP 2007 and the 1996-1998 USGS DOQQs):
http://geolibportal.maine.gov/wms/mapserv.exe?map=c:/wms/orthos.map&
The WMS has been tested in ArcGIS, MapInfo, Google Earth,
QGIS, and gvSIG. Recall that a WMS is not a standalone web site,
you have to 'consume' it in some type of GIS client.
Details about these WMS can be found on the GeoLibrary
Board's web site
http://www.maine.gov/geolib.
Additionally, we have posted text-based metadata files for
the 5 aerial orthophoto services we currently provide on the web site as
well (this is a temporary location for metadata until the portal is
finalized).
We are currently processing the 2001-2003-2004 GeoLibrary
data for WMS, and also re-released NAIP 2007 data (better image quality
and color balancing than the interim product you currently see).
These should be available in the next two weeks. More details
coming soon.
