To use a map service that is available on our server you may first want to see what services are available: http://gis.marinpublic.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/

At the top level is the list of folders where the services are stored.  Click on a service name to see a list of Map Layers that makeup that service.

When you click on a service the link is the Rest endpoint. 

Example: http://gis.marinpublic.com/arcgis/rest/services/BaseMap/Basemap/MapServer is an end point for the Marin Basemap map service.

Click on a map layer to get detailed information on the fields in that layer and some of the cartographic settings that is configured in the Layer.

Secured services are limited to MarinMap members and named individuals (requires a password to connect).

Some Map services are available using the Open Source standards:
