Build interactive maps that explain your data
Interactive maps create immersive experiences that take maps from a static view to an opportunity for users to explore. Enhanced details and new perspectives spring from the map as you zoom in, search, and interact with the data.
There are many ways to explore interactive maps. Here are several options:
Data comes in a variety of formats and from many places. ArcGIS Online makes it simple to upload files and bring in content from the cloud. Many file types are supported, including spreadsheets, KML, GeoJSON, and common geospatial files. With ArcGIS Analytics for IoT, an add-on capability, you can connect to external sources of observational data such as IoT platforms, message brokers, and third-party APIs. When your data needs refining, ArcGIS Online includes tools to help you prepare your data for visualisation and analysis.
Seeing your data on a map is enlightening, and it also leads you to ask new questions. Add authoritative data to your map to gain perspective and find answers to your questions. ArcGIS Online includes the extensive collection of ready-to-use maps and data in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.
A collection of live feeds showcases our planet's current conditions including weather, natural disasters, earth systems, and traffic. Tap into, analyse, and display these live feeds in your maps and apps. These feeds are reliable and robust, scaling to meet the demands of millions of views per week.
Enhance your maps with demographic, psychographic, and socioeconomic data. With over 15,000 data variables from more than 130 countries, you are certain to find data that adds value to your mapping and analysis.
Learn more about the biosphere using scientific data. Measure the heights of mountains and discover the depths of lakes and oceans. Locate energy production facilities and understand where resources are being extracted. Find out about habitats and their species. Study weather and climate patterns.
Place your data on a ready-made canvas. ArcGIS Online includes the broadest collection of current, historic, and creative basemaps. These high-quality basemaps, maintained by Esri, are built using authoritative commercial and community data. Give context and personality to your data using a variety of basemaps.
Gain a bird's-eye view using global imagery.
Vector basemaps allow you to customise the style and match your brand.
Create eye-catching maps using creative basemaps.
Patterns and spatial relationships emerge when you visualise your data in a map. Smart mapping helps you turn raw data into information by guiding your exploration and visualisation. Suggested colours, styles, and symbols help you find and emphasize the interesting aspects of your data's story.
Understand your data in the context of location using intuitive analysis tools.
