New Location Services and APIs
Several new Location Services from ArcGIS Location Platform were introduced, including Batch Geocoding, Last-Mile Delivery, Elevation, and Static Basemap Tiles. These services provide developers with powerful tools to integrate into their apps. One example was the use of Static Basemap Tiles in a simple web application created with ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.
Instant Apps and Their Benefits
Instant Apps enable quick switching from web maps to web applications without programming. Various templates such as Basic, Atlas, and Zone Lookup were presented. These templates offer an easy way to visualize data and use it interactively.
ArcGIS Dashboards
ArcGIS Dashboards provide interactive and data-driven analyses. New features and automation possibilities were introduced. These improvements make it easier to create dashboards that are visually appealing and effective.
Experience Builder
Experience Builder enables the creation of complex web applications with or without programming. New features like Express Mode and custom widgets were presented. These tools facilitate fast creation and customization of applications.
ArcGIS Pro and Its Customization Options
ArcGIS Pro offers extensive customization and automation options. New features such as the ArcGIS Pro Debugger for Python and the Pro AI Assistant were introduced. These tools help developers optimize their workflows and work more efficiently.
Open Development and Open Source
ArcGIS supports open source and open APIs. New features in Esri Leaflet and ArcGIS RestJS as well as the use of Open API Specification combined with Rust were presented. These initiatives promote interoperability and facilitate integration of ArcGIS into other technologies.
ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Game Engines
ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Game Engines enable the creation of applications with realistic visualizations and XR experiences. New features such as 3D Tiles and vertical coordinate systems were introduced. These tools open new possibilities for real-time apps and realistic simulations.
Native Apps Development
ArcGIS Maps SDKs for native apps enable the creation of powerful apps for various platforms. New features like Geotriggers and Navigation were introduced. These SDKs support platforms such as .NET, Swift, Qt, Kotlin, and recently also Flutter. They offer advanced functions for offline data editing and analysis.
The Future of WebApps
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript enables the creation of interactive web applications. New features like Web Components and Knowledge Graphs were introduced. These tools facilitate integration of functionality into web applications and offer advanced data visualization capabilities.
Conclusion and Outlook
The second day of the summit ended with an outlook on future developments and an invitation to continue participating in the sessions. ArcGIS is continuously improved, and there are many exciting sessions and workshops dealing with topics such as data management, artificial intelligence, and spatial analyses.
