MapCompare now with ESRI ArcWeb

Last week, I added the ESRI ArcWeb Explorer Javascript API to MapCompare. Unfortunately, I was unable to add it as a tab. ESRI has gone the Flash route, and that does not work with the other APIs or AJAX very well. But, I make it available in a new window for you to view. A few comments; in general, I think it's a great API. I don't know why it is not more widely known, I found out from a single tip, not even from ESRI. They gear their API more towards geographers and GIS people, for example they use ratio scales instead of "zoom levels". Their controls are very neat too. The maps lolok very different, they use a different set of scale dependencies, symbology, etc. I noticed that their geocoding results return very similar coordinate results as Google Maps....interesting. I assume they are using the same data set for geocoding.

Enjoy!
