Studying climate change? Interested in getting your students and community involved with a global mapping event?Join tens of thousands of others who will be taking part in the Map Off 2016 event for GIS Day. It is a free online collaborative mapping activity - where participants respond to a series of questions with their views about climate change. Then everyone can see the results in a specially created webapp. Will be interesting to see if views vary by areas. Join the fun Map Off event .

I used to use it to call up population pyramids and other geo enrichment data for any location around the world for areas of interest I could draw around. It was working a few weeks ago and then just stopped. Please return it into action or let me know where else I can get an application which does the same thing. ... View more

Web apps are great ways to simplify mapping functions for users. Currently though if you want to push out a web app map with a layer of data the viewers have to accept the layer styles you have chosen.

It would be great to have a web app which allowed users to just change the style of the layer and a widget in the web app builder which also allowed this functionality. ... View more
