Heat Maps in GIS

GIS Lounge — Sun, 20 May 2012 22:35:33 +0000

Heat maps, from a geographic perspective, is a method of showing the geographic clustering of a phenomenon. Also known as hot spot mapping, heat maps show locations of higher densities of geographic entities. The ‘heat’ in the term refers to the concentration of the geographic entity within any given spot, not to be confused with [...]

[Blog] Bridging the Gap

blog.zolnai.ca — Sun, 20 May 2012 15:35:00 +0000

Bridging the gap between desktop and on-line GIS follows the first and second instalment, online vector GIS and spatial data validation. GisCloud introduced a free Esri extension to load features and attributes to its file system. This follows other services such as Arc2Earth and Arc2Google, except in the vector domain. Having both Esri @ home and a private cloud I put this new extension through its paces.

East Anglia Fenlands mashup on arcgis.com looks like this on giscloud.com. But how do I get there? First you download and install the extension, and it’s added to ArcMap for you. Pressing the single button in ArcMap pops up this screen:

click on image to enlarge

Log in via your social media or own login, select the layers to export et voilà! layers get uploaded: 9 layers at 1900 features each totalling 58Mb took 9 min. on a 1mbps up / 20mbps down ADSL line on a stock HP Pavilion g6 notebook running ArcGIS 10 for Home Use (read: ArcView with all extensions).

As with online validation, the usual lessons learned are almost as interesting as the process itself… It’s so easy, we have to get something more out if it, don’t we? Here are mine:

UK Ordnance survey data come in British National Grid (ORD SURV GB) with a defined datum but not ellipsoid, which posts as Transverse Mercator with unnamed ellipsoid and datum, and thus fails the GIScloud import but posts as unprojected
a simple reprojection to WGS84 in the file geodatabase fixed that and posts like so:

You can follow Socium’s on-line validation output (triangles where adjacent polygons differ by more than one unit). The best part of it, however, is that it took longer to write this blogpost than it took to upload, fix and re-upload the data! How’s that for ease-of-use from Esri and giscloud.com?

[ESRI Blogs] – The "Imagery with Labels" basemap should include street names automatically

RSS_Blogs_ESRI — Fri, 18 May 2012 22:50:34 +0000

Currently, the "Imagery with Labels" basemap in ArcGIS Online doesn't include labels for streets and roads, so when you zoom in on a map that uses it, especially a large scale map in urban areas, it can be hard to see where you are.

You can manually add the World Transportation map service into your map in order to get labels for streets and roads. But it would be good if the labels from this service were automatically part of the "Imagery with Labels" basemap, so maps and apps using this basemap can show these labels by default. I think that is kinda what people expect when they see this basemap.

Here's a web map that uses the "Imagery with Labels" basemap with the World Transportation map service drawn on top so you can see what this looks like as you zoom in.

[ESRI Blogs] – synchronize / update layer files

RSS_Blogs_ESRI — Fri, 18 May 2012 18:01:53 +0000

I use layer files to keep symbology consistant between different mxd files. One of the issues however, is that current ArcMap projects do notupdate symbology when a layer file is updated.

It might be nice if there was an option to "check for layer file updates." or an optional automatic message "the layer file for parcels c:\gisdata\parcels.lyr has been updated. would you like to update the symbology on this map?"

Thanks
