Geonames Search Task in ArcGIS Explorer

For those of you who are not aware, ESRI publishes video tutorials on its free subscription channel at Viddler.com on its wide range of products.

Here’s one interesting video on how one can enhance the search and find capabilities of ArcGIS Explorer by adding a Geonames Search task that is available from the resource center.

The Explorer team did a good work by not just running through the process of finding places using this task, but rather had a story with an objective to find a place in Glacier National Park, Montana.
