#360Flex Notes – “Yet Another Flex Mapping API, NOT!” – Mansour Raad and Antony Jayaprakash

This is not just a small API but a true GIS mapping application. It has been used for the Fargo flood and Minneapolis Bridge collapse.
http://www.esri.com/flex to download the API Library – SWC

Services:
Tiles can be hosted by yourself, they host some, MS hosts some. Google is coming.
Geocoding/Reverse
Query/Identiy
Routing w/ barriers and time windows (no left turns)
Buffer/projection
GeoProcessing

Lots of examples about processing. Very cool stuff but not really applicable to GV. The simple map stuff with hosting our own tiles might work.

Notes:
DriveTime polygons
Collaborative mapping with updating another clients that are looking at the same data.
Client side clustering/routing with barriers
Great book – ActionScript 3.0 Animation by Keith Peters
