You can go to one of two places:

http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/example/services.html - this contains a list of services that you can pull from the national map (maintained by the USGS).

To me the http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ is a little more straight forward plus you don't have to worry about loss of internet.

I'm actively trying to find an answer to this as I type but I'm simply trying to connect to online streaming aerial and USGS raster imagery and not yet finding that...I'm sure I've overlooking it but could use a hand.

My needs are super simple: download / upload points & lines to & from GPS unit from field work, and then create point / line / polygon data and basic land-use analyses in a view...just need basic background data to do that on top of. Thanks so much for the any quick tips - I'm still searching, but am bogging down in a bit in the jargon.
