The NC OneMap Team has two upgrades scheduled for the next two Fridays (10/14 and 10/21). This will require that the GeoSpatial Portal be taken offline from 5-8pm.  In preparation, we are also going to disable the download imagery functionality starting at 4pm both days.  We're doing this to try and avoid someone making a download request and it getting dropped during the upgrades.

In case your interested, the upgrades include an update to the GeoSpatial Portal software that will allow us to more efficiently manage the application. Also, it will improve the processing required to package the imagery into a zip file.  Finally, we will be upgrading VMWare (virtual machine software) that runs the system. Both of these upgrades will improve the capacity and speed at which we can service your requests.

As always, please leave your comments on the blog or email us.

The historic imagery you used to find on the alphabetical data download page has been moved to the NC OneMap Geospatial Portal.

Adobe Flex based applications sometimes need to connect to information, services, or resources on other websites or domains. Security vulnerabilities typically prevent this unless special permission is granted by the server providing the resource. The NC OneMap servers also employ this protection but there is a way to gain access.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation has flown damaged areas of the Outer Banks due to hurricane Irene multiple times. That data is now time enabled and is available as an image service.

There are a few Hurricane Irene related resources available to use.

In preparation for Hurricane Irene, we've centralized some pertinent services and shapefiles that you may find useful in advance of the approaching storm.

We've added some data updates to the NC OneMap Geospatial Portal.

We've recently added the ability to check the status of OGC (wms, wfs) and ArcIMS based map services to the Geospatial Portal. Now you can check if a service is available directly from the search results.
