Public Map Gallery Template: Trouble loading Maps to Map View

JillPlescher — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:54:32 GMT

I am trying to use the Public Maps Gallery Template 1.4. All my maps are present in the first page (index.html), but many of the map won't open in the map view. Is this a problem because of the base map I am using??? For example the maps using BING Roads won't open.

I'm also interested in a discussion regarding the speed that the maps load. Tips and Tricks would be useful to create maps that load quickly in the map view (just using ArcGIS online).

Hi Jill,
I think it's probably that you need to enter a bing maps key into the config file where your ID was entered.

You're exactly right, I needed to get a BING map key to get the maps to load in the viewer.
Thanks,

Jill,
I had the same problem with the map viewer not loading. The MS key worked. Thanks for trail blazing. I'm wondering though if you have heard anything so far as loading speed is concerned? Seems like a bit of a wait to get it to load. And I'm still just working on the template here on my C drive. What happens when you post the whole template folder to a server? Does it get even slower?

Thanks,
Jim
