GPS Location in Map Tour Storymap

[MikeBonk1]

Hi,

Currently the "Find my Location" button in Map Tour Storymap does not function well with the mobile devices internal GPS.  The button reports first current location correctly, but does not update in a timely manner that would allow GPS navigation to a Map Tour point.  Recommend extending the "Find my Location" button functionality to include a continuous GPS location for mobile devices so a user can easily navigate to Tour points.  Functionality I am recommending would be similar to the Google Maps app where the GPS location is always on.

Thanks for the consideration,

Mike Bonk

There have long been StoryMap Walking Tours in the galleries.  I would love to see these tours improved by the use of GPS positioning for someone using the StoryMap to navigate a new area -- cultural sites, stores taking part in a sidewalk sale, rides at an amusement park, etc.  

Adding the ability to locate/track/follow someone on a mobile device would remove the need for them to know where they are, and help them find where they want to be.  For my purposes, this would take StoryMaps from the desktop to the street, connecting people with places.

The classic Esri Story Maps templates are in extended support (read more) and are no longer being updated with new capabilities and features. We recommend using ArcGIS StoryMaps for all storytelling projects.

If your idea is not implemented in ArcGIS StoryMaps and you would like to request it be considered for a future release, please submit a new idea with the details of your request and how it would be useful to you and your organization.
