MEGIS and the Maine GeoLibrary announce three new web mapping services available at http://www.maine.gov/geolib/wms.htm:
 
NOAA South Coast (NOAA JALBCTX) - this is 1/2-meter low-tide coastal imagery collected by NOAA from roughly Kittery to Georgetown in 2008.  This is pan-sharpened QuickBird satellite imagery and overlaps the NOAA coastal lidar collect in the same area in 2008.
 
Piscataqua River 2008 (NOAA IOCM) - this is 1/2-meter imagery collected by NOAA for the mouth of the Piscataqua River on 6-9-2008.
 
Maine Hillshade 10m DEM - this is a 10-meter hillshade created from the 10m National Elevation Dataset.
 
Also the NAIP 2009 service has been updated to replace a faulty image in the Mercer and Belgrade Lakes area - no need for you to do anything to see the update, it's automatically in there the next time you use NAIP 2009.
 
For those of a statistical persuasion, the WMS has exceeded 1.25 million hits since its debut at the beginning of 2009.  January and February 2010 both registered > 100K hits per month.
 
And a REMINDER that the ArcSDE-based imagery is going away this weekend, please switch over to using these WMS...
 
(Is Spring here or is this just a tease?  Kind of a wimpy winter if it's over...)
 
Happy mapping,
