9. New User Interface – dockable windows; as windows come and go, the map does not have to redraw; Catalog Window allows user to sort and search on layers and then drag and drop them on the map
8. Tab browsing on tables
7. New Search tool to compliment “Add Data” catalog – search tool for layers using keywords – new capability for fast access
6. Reporting – save reports with selected sets
5. Geoprocessing in Model Builder – users can have access to a new pop up for tool tips without having to open up a tool; there is an “undo button” for the auto-layout selection; customization capability to access all of the functions
4. New Layers Tab – a smart legend that only shows features withing the current viewable maps; with a map location is changed, the symbology will “gray out” if they are no longer visible.
3. Ability to change symbols by search using key words like “green push pin”; no longer have to search through many many symbols
2. Ability to make temporal maps using time stamps for each map that has been created; also included is a tool bar to step through each of the temporal maps in the user’s selection
1. Fast Base Maps - Select map layers and drop them into a new "basemap" layer with continuous redraw and panning
What about a tenth? John says there is more to come.
Here are some tweets I found interesting from Saturday and Sunday (Ed UC, Business Summit, Executive Summit, Homeland Security Summit, Public Safety Summit and others I’m sure I missed!).
- GIS the killer app for data.gov. over 100,000 geospatial datasets shared from geodata.gov through ESRI Geoportal OGC CS-W
- Map Use is most beautiful GIS textbook I have seen. Kudos to the authors and esri press.
@utilitynerd
- ESRI RS & GIS does remote sensing only apply to imagery? RS also incl LiDAR, radar, etc.
- Not many modelbuilder users at #remote sensing and gis. Lindsay’s demo real eye opener.
@mudmo
- Byrne (GIO of CA) says “GIS is the new ‘white board’
@joefrancica
- It’s weird being a GIS professional here. Mostly non GIS folks. It’s kinda like a long sales pitch. (On public safety summit, I believe)
@gis_Todd
- Watching ArcGIS Server Image Extension demo - I have a lot to learn!
@Jen_McCarthy
- ESRI map book 24 is dissapointing on whole. some poor cartography. Harper Collins front cover is great though.
@kennethfield
- I wonder how many people in here realize there are numerous virtual conversations going on in this room
@Learon_Dalby
- ESRI MapIt will be available from this Monday. $4,500 USD per IIS Server
@noxnarcosis
Keep them coming - we will be awarding the writer of the best tweet tagged #ESRIUC with $100. See the rules and good luck!
