Responses to Question #6: What current web services (if any) do you have difficulties using? |
|---|
| accessing the FTP site has been a problem..from time to time |
| All of them are almost impenetrable to me as far as quick answers are concerned. Wasn't your information more readily available to the layperson in the past? I now feel practically illiterate and certainly incompetent when I try to find information. But perhaps I am looking for answers which you aren't supposed to have. |
| all works fine for me |
| Comments & question on the drought monitoring page. |
| downloading orthophotos |
| I do not find your "MNHP data request form" or the new MFISH site as user friendly as the older versions. |
| I never knew that there were some of these services i have been limited to the GIS pages |
| I sent a recent question on how to map the water rights information as I thought I could do it in the past... |
| I stuble in all since I do so many different things and not frequent enough on each to become proficient. Overall though the guides are very good. |
| If it is web services provided by NRIS none. |
| It would be beneficial if DNRC Water Right Forms were in a download-able format for entering data on my PC rather than the pdf format which allows me to only print the forms (and then go to the typewriter to fill them out). |
| It's hard to use the DNRC water rights page. I dont understand how to use it very well. And I find the new look of Environet rather confusing. I'm sure a newcomer to the page would be very confused. One of the items on the Water Info system is the Montana Wetlands Council page. A lot of the links on their page dont work |
| layering the maps knowing how to access the info I want and really what information is available. |
| Map files are very large. |
| Map services |
| Most of the interactive mappers are difficult to use. You should feature more standard ArcIMS web sites that can be added to ArcGIS MXD projects. |
| Other states not providing data as well as Montana |
| Search box for Topofinder would be handier at top of page rather than bottom. |
| Simplify simplify & then simplify |
| Soils data is poorly documented and difficult to use. CAMA data is also complicated and poorly documented. I know the CAMA data is not totally within your control for distribution. Both data sets could benefit from having a "lite" version or two that could be used for generic application or even a general guide as to what fields are useful for helping answer some general questions. |
| The Thematic Mapper doesn't seem to provide the detail and level of accuracy I'm looking for. |
| Thematic Mapper (I might be trying to find info that isn't available and I have not thoughroughly read the instructions!) |
| this one |
| This spring I did a research project for a class I was taking in information systems and found (1) NRIS is about the bleeding edge in what they are offering; and (2) the data there is "dangerous" -- found much of it was a one time dump from agencies out of date or incorrect. For liability concerns have found I still need to bother the folks at MDEQ county govt etc. Hopefully they will come up to speed with their databases so that you may have a dynamic link and adequate data avaialble to put on your lovely maps. |
| topo finder once every couple of months |
| Water Rights by owner and points of diversion |
| Water rights page - do not have access to update browser |
| Watershed maps could go to smaller orders 4th-8th to be really useful. |
| When searching for other map data I often get a "type mismatch" error that is very frustrating. |
