ArcGIS Online
What is ArcGIS online?
ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based mapping platform. Users get access to dynamic, authoritative content to create, collaborate, catalog, and share maps, data, and applications with each other, the entire organization, or the public. Through ArcGIS Online, organizations gain access to the Esri cloud.
What can you do with ArcGIS Online?
Explore and visualize 2D and 3D data. Share your maps with anyone, anywhere or keep them private. Work collaboratively with fellow scholars to build maps and apps. Access analysis tools that help you better understand your data. Build stories around your data, maps, pictures and other media. Browser-based, no platform issues.
