map_4.pngNow that we have this map information, what do we do with it? Thankfully I'm just the grunt in this whole effort and much more strategically minded people will be using this information. A couple ideas are:

  • knowing key locations for small groups
  • choosing a location for a branch service

Do other people have ideas? Please share.

About 2-3 hours after my last post, I got a TrackBack from James Fee about my use of ArcWeb. I posted a comment on his blog asking for some help using Perl with SOAP::Lite (which is a pretty weak SOAP implementation, IMHO). Minutes later I received comments back with pointers to some examples.

I was able to get the whole thing plotted tonight. I still need to fiddle with the map coverage. I simply asked for a best-fit map without realizing that we've had people come to Crossroads from all over the place. We've got a pretty good spread!

Once I get the ArcWeb code cleaned up I'll make it available.
