<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">The QuickZoom tool now includes zooming to named features of the National Hydrography Dataset. Look for National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) in the list of categories, enter a named water body or flow line, and zoom to named bays, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">For ArcGIS users who need to extract imagery for use with mobile GIS applications, these enhancements will greatly simplify downloading imagery from ArcGIS for use with mobile computers. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">In addition to updating the tool to work with ArcGIS 9.x, we've added the 2004 aerials to the list of available imagery and an imagery export tool. Please note that the 2004 aerials are only available in the 1m format, and they may only be used when your scale is below 1:24,000 (you can use the aerials from DataMiner to get near your area of interest and under that scale threshold, and then use ImageTools to grab the exact aerials you need).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Once you have used ImageTools to place imagery in the view and placed the ImageTools Options button on your GUI, click ImageTools Options, and then click Export Imagery-- and it will export the images that have been placed in the map to a user-specified directory. Please note that it doesn't "clip" the images, like if you used the Export Data to ArcPad tool that mobile GIS users may be familiar with. Also, it won't copy images that you may have manually brought into your map (like the hi-res images available at </FONT><A HREF="file://\\epic80\library\image\hi_res"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">\\epic80\library\image\hi_res</FONT></U></A><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> or images you have gotten from a county).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">As these enhancements were created by the Division of Water Resource Management WRM ITS section, please continue to direct questions regarding use and/or enhancements to me, rather than BIS/GIS.</FONT></P>
