Update to this post:
Another post about zigGIS. I didn’t really intend this blog to be so dominated by zigGIS but that’s certainly the way it’s been thus far. Basically, it’s just really cool and it satisfies my geek nature on a couple of fronts.
After posting about the spatial reference issue before, I couldn’t resist digging [...]

Any data set that has a defined spatial reference fails to draw in ArcMap. In addition, the layer properties always indicate that the coordinate system is [...]

It is intriguing for a couple of reasons. First is the promise of reading directly from PostGIS and working with your data in ArcMap without the [...]
