Online Mapping Patterns in 2013 and Beyond
Online Mapping Trends Observed
• Maps are becoming the norm– Public thinks geospatially– Layers lists are going away– Users expect mobile
• Aid and international development need tools to:– Deliver services – Monitor and evaluate
success/failure– Increase transparency
Pattern: Online Mapping Applications
• Focused Applications
• Curated map experience
• Mobile apps• Open Data APIs• Near real time data
Pattern: User Centric Functionality
Citizen
• Access services
• Aid Locations• Education• Provide
feedback
Aid Org
• Distribute aid
• Infrastructure
• Information Sharing
• Operations
NGO
• Policies• Goals• Transparenc
y• Analysis
UN and Aid Orgs tell great stories
• Nearly every UN story has a geographic component
• Use maps with photos, videos to show impact
• Engage stakeholders to educate and inform
• Curate your message for the audience• Story must be clear – without interaction
– No layer lists (thinking) required
Pattern: Curated Content via Story Maps
Getting beyond the dots on the map…
• What do the dots really mean?
• Include images/text for context
• Rich narratives to tell your story
• Human element

world
• Majority of Internet Devices Globally are now mobile (58%)

MEASURE DHS Mobile

• Indicators for 90+ countries– tables, charts and maps
• Subnational Mapping • Works Offline • Available on iOS,
Android– Windows Phone (coming
soon)
Pattern: Mobile Crowdsourcing
• Beyond concept – How can it help
achieve your mission?
Is your organization listening?
• Twitter• Facebook• Instagram/Flickr• SMS
Patterns: Technical Modernization
• Have a plan: deploy Story Maps and Apps fast• Plan for upgrade rather than wait = better
apps
• Use Open Data APIs • Use Cloud GIS – Amazon Web Services• Integrate with ArcGIS Online
– Basemaps– Rapid dissemination– Data collection (online, offline)
Modern Approach to Online Mapping
Summary
• Focused online maps are powerful tools
• Information is accelerating– deploy tools that
allow rapid delivery
• Make sure mobile is part of your plan
