GeoStor Updates

I know it has been quite some time since my last update on the blog/forum and I apologize for that. It means that I have been REALLY busy working on it, in fact if I don’t document my changes I forget most of them. Also, my trip to the ESRI UC was great, I learned a lot, visited with friends, met new friends, and enjoyed some down time in the California sun. If you are an ESRI user and are able to go, I highly suggest it.

Change log:

  • Updated the map cache for ACF and the aerials, I have included the 1 foot county aerials where possible in the cache

  • Many, many bug fixes on the website, thanks for all your help finding the bugs!
  • Added features:
