Any leads on imagery or imagery products showing extent of current oil spill off southern California coast, either in service form or downloadable?  Anyone already created masked/filtered/processed products using Sentinel or Landsat imagery?  Any other imagery leads on this event?  Thanks ...

I have an ArcGIS Online feature layer shared only to our org (non-public) that I need to view in a 3rd party app (LandVision) that provides some instructions on how to do so here but I can't get it to work, the instructions mention using "Client ID" and "Client Secret" within the app to access the layer - I've tried using an ArcGIS Online account username/password that has access to the layer for those inputs but it doesn't work.  From some web searching, I've seen those terms like "Client Secret" used in the ArcGIS Developer web pages for registering apps to use methods of authentication, tokens, etc., so I'm guessing that's what I need to do, but I'm not understanding which method to use and how to register or set it up considering it is just one layer.  I have contacted the 3rd party app support and they mostly just point me to their instructions.  I need to keep the layer in ArcGIS Online as org-only as it contains sensitive content that should only be accessed by our org or for users logged into the 3rd party app.  Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!   ...

Do either the Site Scan or Site Scan LE flight apps produce flight log files that can be uploaded manually into a service like airdata.com?  I know about the new video logs which are great, but we're in need of just regular flight logs that track flight path, battery status, etc.  I thought perhaps Site Scan has a DJI account login within it that syncs such data to DJI's cloud, but can't tell if there is such an option or not.  Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!  ...

Seeking advice on current drones and/or related sensors that support the MISB standard in video output for optimal ArcGIS FMV compatibility, particularly drones that are US made, but advice on any brands/models appreciated.  I've used DJI drones exclusively and have used the apps to make their video output FMV compatible (DatCon, CIRRUAS), but it is not a complete solution.    Also, I've started a petition asking DJI to support MISB compliance, please consider signing: https://www.change.org/p/dji-please-provide-misb-compliant-drone-video    Thanks! ...

What are the steps to configure reference AGOL hosted feature layers to be non-editable but still offline compatible for Collector web maps?  For example, if we don't want editors to be able to change the features in the layer, but still want it capable of being loaded into a web map used for reference when offline in Collector?  For hosted feature reference data that changes often, I would rather take this approach instead of having to create and update tile packages. In ArcGIS Server, I think I figured this out by loading the data in a multi-user database (SQL Server) and running the ArcGIS tools Add Global IDs and Enable Archiving on the data, then serving the feature service via a read-only database connection so that any attempted edits don't save.  However, I can't figure out an equivalent workflow for AGOL... Any insight or suggestions are appreciated, thanks. ... View more
