Put your data on the map
Use the Maps app to view item locations and geometry, superimposed over basemap imagery.
Control the data you see with layers and layer styles. The Layers panel makes it easy to turn layers and individual styles on/off as needed, enabling you to change your view and shift focus between different datasets at any time. Open items to view their details in a side panel, which can be resized and minimised to accommodate different situations and screen sizes.
Switch basemaps to change the background imagery and see your items in new contexts. Use the supplied basemaps or create your own by connecting to various online map services, e.g. Google Maps, OpenStreetMaps.
Navigate the map by mouse, keyboard or touch. Use the provided map tools to select items and accurately measure dimensions in real-time.
