Community Maps 2.0 Contribution Method Gains Momentum
The Community Maps new contribution method (aka CM 2.0) is in full swing since its initial release last summer (2012). Since this time, Esri’s Community Maps team has been working with many of our early adopters to get them converted from CM 1.0 (cache delivery) to CM 2.0 (vector delivery) contributors. This reengagement campaign has been very successful, with a great majority of our early adopters registering through our online web application and submitting more contemporary data of their area. This effort is hand-in-hand with our refresh of the World Topographic Map to the new cartographic design. The design changed in late 2012 to a more subtle, reference-style map, providing a better canvas for overlaying operational data in web applications, printed maps and other kinds of output.
