With the recent updates to the ArcGIS.com viewer (posted last night) you’ll find some excellent new features.
One of them is a gallery of application templates that have been added to Share. Here we’ve opened one of the maps from the ArcGIS.com gallery showing food expenditures. The map is being displayed using the built-in ArcGIS.com viewer.
Click Share…
… and you’ll notice some new options to post directly to Facebook or Twitter, or to Make a Web Application.
Click Make a Web Application to display a gallery of application templates that you can customize to suit your needs. Click Preview to get a quick look at how your map will look in the template, then click Download to copy the source locally to customize it further and publish from your own website.
Here’s the food expenditure map previewed in one of the new templates:
And here’s how it looks in a variety of others:
This new capability makes it very easy to create custom web apps using any ArcGIS Online map.
Also in this update is the addition of a scalebar
And an improved editing experience for editing web maps with feature services (we’ll cover this in more detail in a future post).
