Adding data layers

The key functionality of ArcExplorer is the viewing of spatial data. You can view data that is stored on your computer or published as an ArcIMS service. You can also view data on the Geography Network. An ArcIMS service allows the content of a map configuration file to be published on the Internet by registering it to the ArcIMS Spatial Server and Web server.

Data from local sources or the Internet, an ArcSDE server, or an ArcIMS service can be added to ArcExplorer.
