ESRI Geographic Network is too complicated for me to make map with this site service. I got lost many times in trying to make map. It provides too much information to digest. I was overwhelmed by the all sorts of function. It is not user-friendly mapping service.

If the name of the game is data collection, this is an excellent place to start. ESRI offers arcview-ready data for all kinds of themes such as business, economic, biologic, ecologic, political boundaries, military, oceans, structures, etc. Building our respective worlds from scratch will be more complete with the use of this site. Its function, as already stated, seems to be ESRI's "simple" interface for its customers. For the GIS professional it's probably the first place to look for quick and easy data set downloads. Often times, I'm guessing, those professionals will go to other sources if this doesn't have what they want. With this scope in mind, I felt like it was relatively straightforward to find the type of data that you're looking for. You draw a box around the part of the world you want, then choose what kind of spatial info you want. If they have it for dowload, it comes up in the next screen along with the appropriate metadata. The turnoff is that there are no maps for quick aesthetic viewing. I think this will be a very useful site for our GIS projects.
