Developers can access NG TOPO! maps as raster images in JPEG, GIF, PNG, or
PNG8 format and include them in their Web applications.
ArcWeb for Developers is a suite of GIS Web services that ESRI offers to
developers and is part of ESRI's family of ArcWeb Services. With ArcWeb for
Developers, developers can include GIS content and capabilities in their
applications without hosting the data or developing any GIS applications
themselves, resulting in significant savings of development time, expense,
and computer resources. ArcWeb for Developers uses XML-based Simple Object

majority of Web service frameworks available today.

- Access dynamic maps of streets, topography, census
demographics, shaded relief imagery, and more.
- Determine the locations of street addresses.
- Generate routes and multilingual driving directions between
multiple locations.
