arcgis-9.3arcgis-servergoogle maps
I am doing a (non commercial) project where the client doesn't have the budget for purchasing map data like that provided by TeleAtlas.
They only need map data for a background map, and they'd like to use Google Maps as provider.
However, the solution has to integrate with their existing ArcGIS Server based solution.
Is it possible out of the box with ArcGIS Server (9.3.1) or perhaps through an extension (commercial or otherwise)?
The company I work for (Latitude Geographics) makes a product called Geocortex Optimizer that can do this for you.
It analyzes both your ArcGIS Server logs and your IIS logs to determine what parts of your maps are being requested:
That's the results of some stress testing we did on it, so it's not as representative of the final result. (Normally you only get really "hot" zones over urban centers)
If you want more information, use the "Request a demo" function on our web site.
Timothy never got around to making his comment from above as an answre, so I'm posting it here.
You may need to clear the REST cache to see the modifications - can you navigate to /arcgis/rest/admin? If you have access to log in you will be able to see 'Clear Cache Options' where you can clear the rest cache

Google's Terms and Conditions do not allow this.
You can only get access to their basemaps if you use their map control. The ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for Google Maps API works with their map control and allows you to overlay services from ArcGIS Server.
