Summary
This tool for ArcMap provides the user the ability to download imagery hosted by the TerraServer Server (http://terraserver.microsoft.com) directly into ArcMap. Once the imagery is downloaded to the local drive, it can be used for a variety of applications, industries, or simply as backdrop data in projects or presentations.
An updated version for ArcGIS 9.2 can be found at http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=14816 .

What's new:
- Access to the new high resolution, natural color imagery.
- Automatic metadata generation, incl. date of image capture
- Easier install and easier tool configuration (i.e. adjusting the tool to a proxy server environment)

Install requirements:
- .Net framework 1.1 (can be downloaded via the Windows Update functionality - 'Custom Install' option for XP users)
- .Net ArcObjects support (the install of this tool won't work if you don't have the .net support for ArcGIS installed. Please insert your ArcGIS install CD again and customize the current ArcGIS install. If you have successfully installed the .net framework from the step above then you will see an option in your ArcGIS install).
- ArcGIS ArcView 9.0 or higher

Install:
After you unzip the file, rename the file 'Setup.Exe_rename' back to 'Setup.exe' (without the quotes) and double-click that setup file to start the install procedure.

Please read the documentation after the install. Look in Start > Programs > ArcMap TerraServer Download > TerraServerArcMap.

For developer: The source code is included. The TerraServer utility is subject to change but it is the very nice starting point to include the imagery in your own code project.
