Information For Advanced Users

Although this application provides a number of useful and sophisticated geoprocessing and cartographic functions, some users might find the need for more advanced GIS functionality. Some of this functionality may include sophisticated queries and advanced cartographic functions including labeling and annotation. Given the interoperable nature of this product, these data can be used in a variety of applications. The following options are available:

1. Using ArcGIS Desktop—The services implemented in the FRIRP Interactive Map Service application and interface can be easily integrated into your existing data in any version of ArcGIS Desktop. Add an internet server by using the “Add Internet Server” dialogue in ArcCatalog. The internet host name will be http://certmapper.cr.usgs.gov. Once the internet server has been successfully added, select the map service name, “CO_FrontRange.” This service can be used in either ArcCatalog or ArcMap.

2. Using ArcExplorer—This map service can also be integrated with existing data using a free GIS software viewer called ArcExplorer. For additional information regarding ArcExplorer and to download this free application, visit the ArcExplorer homepage at http://www.esri.com/software/arcexplorer/.
