Avenza Alternatief

Question

Aangezien Avenza onlangs is overgenomen, zullen ze het platform richten op GIS-professionals in plaats van het algemene publiek. Ze accepteren geen updates meer voor kaarten in de winkel en zijn van plan de kaartwinkel uiteindelijk volledig te sluiten. Avenza is een geweldige bron geweest voor Three Rivers Park District en vele andere instanties om geo-gerefereerde PDF's te hosten die het publiek gemakkelijk kan kopen/gebruiken op hun mobiele apparaten.<\/P> <\/P> Welke alternatieven overwegen mensen of zijn jullie van plan om geo-pdf aanbiedingen te stoppen?<\/P>

I'll check out the GeoPDF capability and test. Didn't know they had that, thanks.

Why wouldn't you direct the public to use Field Maps now that it also works with GeoPDF's and you don't need to sign in to use it?

The main downside or missing feature is the ability to capture data and export to something like KMLs or Shapefiles from Field Maps (see these ideas - Export Field Maps Markup to KML - Esri Community and Create markup features from GPS location - Esri Community)

Our staff does, but I would never direct the public to use Field Maps to view one of our park maps on. We have web maps that people can access on their browser, but the simplicity of Avenza is what made it useful. No internet connection required, view your location, and PDF maps are easier for a user to navigate/read than a web map.
