MITOrthoTools
These extensions to popular GIS packages will let you import customized snippets of orthophotos from MITOrthoServers.

Researchers in MIT's Urban Planning and Studies department have developed tools to facilitate networked access to geospatial data. Their goal is to use smart servers to provide customized snippets of digital orthophotos using just-in-time geoprocessing and interoperable web-based components.

The MITOrthoTools are extensions to popular GIS packages that import customized snippets of digital orthophotos from MITOrthoServers over the Web directly into your mapping window.
 

  Whenever you want to slip an image under your map, click the extension "button" and a fresh image, sized to fit the extent and resolution of your viewing window, will be extracted from an MITOrthoServer.
