I work as an applications analyst in a municipal information technology department, have a strong background in geographic information systems, and have been a webmaster since the early 1990's. Sometimes I wish we'd just stuck with Gopher :)

KML (KMZ) generated from ArcGIS 10 open in Google Earth but fail to import into SketchUp 8 Any chance this is file-size related. I'd be happy to experiment with this for you this evening if you can make the data available. You can email me if you'd like. jason . jasonbirch.com |

Hardware and software for capturing bathymetric lake elevations? That's just plain awesome. |

KML (KMZ) generated from ArcGIS 10 open in Google Earth but fail to import into SketchUp 8 That's bizarre. Are you able to make the file available for download somewhere? |

KML (KMZ) generated from ArcGIS 10 open in Google Earth but fail to import into SketchUp 8 Google Earth is incredibly compliant with "Postel's Law" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle :) There is a flag in Options->General where you can make it either complain or refuse to load invalid files. |

ESRI REST API clients? Oh, for sure the recent work by esri on web-frameworks and protocols is great. I guess I could contact support; maybe with a request for a public clarification? |

ESRI REST API clients? @Kirk maybe my interpretation is too narrow; IANAL too :) Prior to the introduction of the REST API I think it was implied that these clients were intended for use with ArcGIS Server, but I sure could use a FAQ / matrix showing allowed and disallowed use. I haven't found a definitive source on this yet. |

ESRI REST API clients? Hey, that's interesting @Jim, thanks. In our case we already have direct OpenLayers support in sandbox, so we're covered there, but this is a good justification for others wanting to support both OpenLayers and ArcGIS web APIs with a single interface. |

ESRI REST API clients? Thanks @Simon. We've been looking at the REST API as a secondary interface to GeoREST (similar to the current OData support). But if they best we can hope for is that people who already have ArcGIS Server can connect to GeoREST data, that's a pretty lean enticement to spend the required development and ongoing maintenance time. As an open source project, it doesn't make sense to implement a protocol that with its current client support encourages proprietary lock-in. |

How can I transform a georeferenced JPG to a georeferenced TIF? gdal_translate allows you to create a basic, non-GeoTIFF tiff with worldfile by passing GeoTIFF creation options with the -co parameter. Something like gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "PROFILE=BASELINE" -co "TFW=YES" myFile.jpg myFile.tif |
