One Image for Multiple Locations

[DoriaMateja]

Hello- Is there a way to have one image for multiple locations?  We'll be locating entry gateways and landscape focal points for a park and rather than reloading the same image multiple times for the different location, I'd like to use one image.....can this be done?

Hello,

Assuming you are using the Map Tour template, that isn't possible through the interactive builder.
There is advanced technique but be careful to not lose or corrupt your data:

• load your pictures in a Feature Service or on Flickr/Picasa or Facebook and build a CSV that reference the images. An example CSV is available from the initialization screen. If you need more help, see the Readme (link available through Help>Tips (at the end))


• build your Tour using the interactive builder. Use blank/dummy pictures for the points that will use pictures from another point. Then use ArcGIS.com map viewer or ArcGIS Desktop to edit the data. You have to edit two attributes for each points that will use the pictures of another points (attributes pic_url and thumb_url)

You may use VB.NET programming to insert one image for multiple locations at once. And this VB.NET Imaging Library may help you. This library supports various image formats, such as BMP, TIFF, SVG and so on.
