Our User Community is updating the Living Atlas of the World
The World Topographic Map and World Imagery Map have both been updated with new content!
As part of ArcGIS Online, Esri’s Basemaps support a vast GIS community. Thank You to our Contributors and Partners who help support the Living Atlas of the World by providing data and enriching these amazing resources.
This release incorporates updates to the World Topographic Map for cities and counties in the United States and new content in the world Imagery Map for New Zealand.
In a recent blog post I read that talked about socializing GIS, Clint Brown suggested that geographic data is all about “layers”. I agree and the application below proves it. See which communities provided valuable map layer updates in our latest release.
