Create a map tour in Experience Builder

HelenCooper — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 13:37:44 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to create a 'map tour' in Experience Builder. Is this possible using the existing widgets? Essentially I'm trying to recreate the map tour functionality within StoryMaps but would like each point within the tour to be shown using two different base maps (a 2d and a 3d version).

Any pointers very gratefully received!

Helen

Hello Helen,

I would recommend to get started with the JewelryBox template and tweak the configuration/settings to your liking with 2D/3D maps.

A sample app based on this template can be found here: Current Development Projects (arcgis.com)

See more samples at the gallery: Experience Builder Gallery | ArcGIS

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Kanin

Thanks @Kanin , this gives me a good start, but I'm really looking for something that I can use to iterate between points in a feature class on the fly, rather than needing to use pre-set bookmarks.

Hi Helen,

Another widget has come to mind - it is the List widget in ExB. This is similar to ArcGIS Dashboards' List element where the list loads data dynamically from a layer and supports actions on the map as well.

Thanks @Kanin , that's a good thought and I've spent a long time trying to get the list widget working for what I need, but I still can't work out a way to automate the iteration between the features on the map and list.

I can get a map and list widget linked, and manually click each list entry to zoom the map to the relevant point, but I'd love to get this working automatically, without needing the user to click through the list.

Hello Helen, I am curious to how you made out with this issue. I too am looking for the same thing. I would like to use experience builder but would like the map tour function from story maps.

The main goal being the user just scroll and the map moves points vs the user having to click through bookmarks or points

Did you find a solution?
