This new release brings out many exciting new features and enhancements to AppStudio for ArcGIS Templates.  For example, Map Viewer Template has been redesigned from the ground up and Quick Report Template works completely offline with the support of Mobile map package.  Let's take a look at these new features.  

 

Map Tour Template:

New ArcGIS Runtime

Map Tour template now built using the latest ArcGIS Runtime 100.1 (a.k.a Quartz) for mapping capabilities. This opens up all the new and improved capabilities that the new runtime has to offer such as 3d, vector map tiles, support for webmaps v2.0 and above, better rendering and labelling support to name a few.

New Landscape View

Map Tour template has a new design for the landscape view.  You will be able to see the images and map at the same time on the large screen.

Support for the HTML <audio> Tag

Many users like to add HTML <audio> tag into story maps.  We don't want you to miss out such great functionality to enhance the storytelling experience.  Starting from AppStudio v2.0 Map Tour template, if your tour point has audio in the description you will be able to play audio inline within the app.
