GISsurfer uses the #ArcGIS REST API.

For ArcGIS MapServer data that supports 'dynamic layers' that API makes it fairly easy to add labels to the map.

For ArcGIS FeatureServer data that API does not support labels.

So the only way to see the fire name on a GISsurfer map is to click inside a perimeter. Note that the fire perimeter has to be the 'top' layer. #Wildfire

2/3 To make the KMZ files in my prior post I used #GISsurfer to take a series of screenshots that exactly adjoin. Each screenshot is 100% map. GISsurfer provides the georeference data.

Then I used photo editing software to stitch the screenshots together. Easy to do since the screenshots exactly adjoin.

Windows file manager was used to make the KMZ file by combining KML syntax (provided by GISsurfer) and the finished image.

Remember hearing about #wildfires in #Canada this summer? It is still happening. Each red dot on this #GIS map is an uncontrolled #wildfire
