New feature added to curated list of 3,000+ government #ArcGIS server addresses.

The entry for every federal ArcGIS server and state ArcGIS server now shows whether or not that server is hosting any tiled data. #GIS savvy software can display this type of data with XYZ syntax.

See p.5 of the PDF for more information including how to do a google search to check any county/city ArcGIS server for tiled data.

H/T Dennis Haines
“🗺 Did you know that in 2017, only 6% of the world’s seafloor had been mapped to modern standards? Considering the ocean spans some 70% of the Earth’s surface, that’s a significant gap!
But over the past five years since Seabed 2030 launched, we’ve been able to map almost 25% of the ocean floor.
By discovering more about the seabed, we gain a greater understanding of our environment and can ensure its protection. After all, we can’t protect what we don’t know…”

And now to something completely different: for a project I am looking for AR/XR glasses with the following features: camera with the abilty to live stream the content to a remote audience, two way audio connection with this audience, and ideally the option to read/see feedback from the audience on the AR display. If there is a very robust and convincing solution without the latter, maybe audio feedback is enough, too. What would you recommend?
