    Sounds like the same interface that Virginia uses for their VBMP
    orthoimagery. Just so others know, if the projection offered by the
    ArcGIS server isn't OSM-style (EPSG:3857, EPSG:900913, etc), and the
    Export Map functionality isn't backed by raw imagery (i.e. it's just
    tiled at the given projection, such as one of the state plane
    systems), then it's likely Ian's method won't work. Unfortunately this
    is the case with Virginia's server.


The tiles are working for the imagery in question here. I don't think we ever figured out what was going on with the Virginia imagery that the export functionality wasn't working.
