ArcGIS ExplorerGIS Workshop Week 8
ArcGIS Explorer Online
• A free mapping application that runs in your internet browser
• Create interactive maps (picture and note pop-ups)
• Slideshow presentation with maps• Can share maps/presentations easily
with others via link
ArcGIS Explorer Desktop
• Free – download from www.esri.com/software/arcgis/explorer
• More functions than ArcGIS Explorer Online– Ex. use KML files, insert pictures
• No file size limit– ArcGIS Explorer Online only allows shapefiles
with less than 1000 attributes
• But…some problems I encountered using it:– Had to repair folder paths– Pop-ups would not show in presentation mode
Getting Started With ArcGIS Explorer Online
• Create an account with ArcGIS.com at www.arcgis.com/home/signin.html– Required to save and share maps– Account not needed if only viewing
maps
• Open ArcGIS Explorer Online at www.arcgis.com/explorer/
