has any heard of any GIS IMS capability program that will allow multiple displays of data to be geo linked. For example, when one pans on one view it will automatically relocates the extent on the corresponding linked viewer. Thanks for any help.

I assume by IMS, you mean a Web map server like ArcGIS Server or MapServer, GeoServer, etc. I think that this question is really more about building a client that can do this. The client would keep everything in sync between the two maps and send requests to the server for map images for each map. I am sure that you could do this with OpenLayers. I swear that I had seen an example of this, but did some searching and couldn't find one. |

Here's a half-baked app that I think does what you're describing: http://swingley.appspot.com/maps/four There are a few browser specific issues but I think it is a decent prototype/proof of concept. |

I have previously written an API which allows you to do this, in the Map Window there is series of options you can use the pan, you can hen have a single pan in a single windo and write code to referesh the other map frames. The code I wrote was specifically for ArcReader, but applies across the entire ArcGIS Suite |
