Tile Maps Creation

Tile Maps Publishing

Why Tile Maps?

• Performance

• Scalability

• Cartographic quality

Tile Cache is a set of Fused Layers

Data Breakdown

• Base Map - Reference

• Operational layers - High Volumes of traffic - Don’t change often - Cover small scales only

Building Tile Cache using 10.1

• Defining cache properties • Setting cached scale range • Estimating cache size • Viewing status report

Demo Tile Cache

Creation in 10.1

Best performing image formats

• Vectors few colors: PNG

• Vectors many colors: PNG - MIXED with 90 quality if you need it faster

• Imagery: MIXED with 55 quality

• MIXED if transparency is required

• Keep each tile small in size

When should I use antialiasing?

• High quality line and label appearance • Web Standard • Takes longer but it’s worth it

No need to generate every tile at large scales

• Focus on where people view maps to optimize creation - Use feature class to mask areas that are needed - Ocean and desert areas?

• Data not available tiles setting

• Create tiles on demand for non-popular areas

Build test cache

• Specific subset area for testing

• Tile creation time

• Tile appearance

• Tile performance in the browser

• Actual cache size vs estimated

Update cache

• Include original data to track what changed

• Update everything - OR

• Update only changed areas

Helpful scripts for detecting changes

• Show Edits since Reconcile GP tool - http://esriurl.com/showedits

• Compare two feature classes in a file GDB - http://esriurl.com/compare

Cache Update Automation

• Use Model Builder to script cache update automation - Rebuild Specific Tiles - Export to Python - Schedule run time

New in ArcGIS 10.1 - Caching Imagery

• Fast access to images as a tiled service - Out performs mosaic dataset and raster dataset - Imagery is not processed on the fly

• Provide access to data - Downloading - Item access - Processing - Analysis - Query
