Over on the Sandpit blog, there is a post of a new add-in for ArcMap to explore imagery within a mosaic called Mosaic Image Finder For ArcMap. The add-in supports mosaics stored locally in a geodatabase (or SDE connection) and mosaics published to ArcGIS Server as image services.

As more technology goes mobile, “where” has become one of the key pieces of context in daily life. And the answers to “where” increasingly are provided through geographic information systems (GIS), a technology that is being explored, debated and celebrated today in public.
November 17 is GIS Day, and events are being held in 45 U.S. states and 59 countries.
GIS is an umbrella term to describe tools used to gather, transform, manipulate, analyze and produce information about real-world places. It’s used to create maps and 3-D models, and to provide information to create more accurate reports and make better decisions. It also powers popular interactive services like Google Street View, or GPS features that help apps on your smartphone know what you mean by “nearby.”

This book is about KML, the language used for creating custom presentations based on Google Earth maps and many other geographic data display programs. The book was written to be read sequentially, with the basic concepts being presented at first and then more complex topics being presented later in the book. The compact appendix at the back of the book makes a great reference. This is not one of those IT shovelware books that are useful for about six months and then discarded. I can see me keeping this one around for a long time.
