When Maps & Art combine in Las Vegas - the McCarran International Airport web portal

This "cut ad paste" highlight of the ArcGIS Server Showcase took me to McCarran International Airport's Interactive map portal.  

Map Portal Landing page

The Flex application has a clean interface with the standard "point/click/zoom" functionality.

Terminal Zoom

 Certain "sub-header zooms" bring you to focus on particular areas of the airport, such as a terminal or parking area.

Pop-ups for terminal POIs

Each "zoom section" enables points of interest with additional pop-ups of relevant information.

Parking assistance info

I particularly like to pop-up assistance via my mobile device - relatively speaking the pages loaded just fine from my smart phone.

Menu options

The airport has a separate portal highlighting a children art mural initiative.  The photo mosaic works can we search by location or child creator.

Mapping School Districts - an interactive map portal

Continuing my expose into public sites powered by ArcGIS for Server, I came upon one that is "near & dear" to the wife's heart as we contemplate relocating to a new school district in the Washington DC / Northern Virginia area. 

This site provides access to demographics, social characteristics, and economics of children and school districts from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education. 

 Upon entering, it auto-queries you location to show that state of interest and provides a thematic map - customizable to the variable of interest.

The pop-up tool bars allow for changes in layer display, transparency and export/query options.

In this case, my goal was to understand the overlapping elementary, middle school and high school boundaries in northern Virginia's Fairfax Count school district to assist in our home search.

 Below is the resulting interactive map:

Mapping Frisco, TX - Online Resources for interactive mapping

Continuing my own professional research series on ArcGIS Server applications, the below are some screenshots from the City of Frisco TX online resource center.

Nice interactive application with points of interest, city cervices, DEMs, traffic counts & flows, rel estate developments and digital imagery mixed in a public facing portal of spatial information.

Powered by Silverlight & ArcGIS Server -  the legend details, searchable layers and address geocoding really make this a great public site.
