What is ArcGIS Online?

Link

ArcGIS Online is a collaborative, cloud-based platform that allows members of an organization to use, create, and share maps, scenes, apps, and data, and access authoritative basemaps and ready-to-use apps.

Umm, what?

Note: Not up for the buzzwords and lingo? OK.

Simple web map creation

Note: ArcGIS Online can be used by Esri customers to make a web map that can be viewed by others.

A web map...

is simple

tells a single story

is easily understood

Parts of a web map

Basemaps

Static

Provides context

Note: Basemaps are static maps that give context. They can be aerial imagery, street maps, topo maps.

Esri basemaps

Esri basemaps

• Pretty

• Worldwide

• Not always accurate

San Juan County basemaps

San Juan County basemaps

• Accurate

• Larger scales

• Only San Juan County

Operational layers

Only one or two

Call to attention

Note: This is the meat of the sandwich and what you want your audience to focus on. This should tell the story or supply important information.

Web apps

Additional capabilities

Examples: legends, filters, editing

Note: Web applications or apps add capabilities to web maps. You can add a legend, a paragraph describing the map, filters, data editors, etc.

Making custom web maps is...

Custom web apps are not

Fortunately...

Customizable web apps

Another demo

Thanks
