In today’s technological world everyone need accurate information regarding their surroundings. Several map-based Web applications are providing these spatial details, some are for free and other are paid services. Finding and analyzing path from source to destination is common feature of these Web applications; also these services are not purely GIS (Geographical Information System) services, rather are map manipulator services, but finding and analyzing a shortest path, fastest path and optimize path are still the need of the day. In this paper an application has been developed using ArcGIS Web mapping services to suggest shortest path, fastest path and optimized path using ArcGIS Web API for UAE data layers. The results of this paper clearly showed the applicability and potentiality of using ArcGIS as a tool in path analysis.
