Far be it for me to defend ArcGIS Pro but this *is* coming. I saw a tweet last week from a Developers Conference attendee which relayed that publishing services to ArcGIS Server was going to be part of the 2.4 release. I'm guessing that will come out around the time of the ESRI User Conference, so July-ish? ... View more

As Josh eludes, you have to work with the EXIF information to adjust the embedded lat/long information. I spent some time exploring this years ago and worked on a .NET add-in for Arcmap to add geotag coordinates to photos that didn't have any. I'm attaching the VB.NET code project information if you're so inclined to pursue it. The add-in loads in 10.5.1 with some errors and I don't have the time to debug them, unfortunately. A few errors are due to network file locations that have changed since I developed this originally and there's some issue related to Outlook (my code tries to extract user information from Outlook and add that to some of the EXIF fields). Anyways, it may not be a big deal to fix but I don't have the time. Anyways, To use my add-in- 1. Install the add-in 2. Add the "Geotag Photos" button to your Arcmap dialog (Customize->Commands->Add-in Tools->Geotag Photos) 3. Zoom into an area where your photos were taken. 4. Click the Geotag Photos button to launch the interface. 5. Click the current folder button to navigate to the folder containing your photos that you need to adjust the geotag coordinates. 6. Use the image browse tools at the bottom (the record navigation buttons) to find the photo you want to modify. Once the photo loads, it's lat/long coordinates should be displayed at right. 7. To update the lat/long coordinates, click the crosshair tool and then click its proper location in the Data Frame. Click the Save Changes button. That's probably what you were looking to do. Sorry it's not a working solution, as provided. Screenshot: ... View more

Autodesk also enjoys a substantial market share in its respective field like ESRI so that argument isn't very compelling to me. I use Autodesk and its ribbon. I won't say it's "elegant". ... View more

I think one option is to turn your web map into a web app and then use the built in option for a splash screen and use that for your disclaimer/terms of acceptance. To do this, open your web map, click the Share button, and then select one of the various Web App templates that you think fits best like the Basic Viewer template. From there, you'll enter the design mode when you can enable the splash screen and add the text of the disclaimer and change the text of the ok button to "I Accept" or whatever you'd like. Alternatively, you can go to your web map's item page and click the "Create a Web App" button to accomplish the same thing. Here's a screen shot of what I'm talking about inside the options of the Basic Viewer Template: The only downside I can see is that the original web map won't have the disclaimer. I'm not sure there is a way to add one for the standard AGOL web map. ... View more

FYI, I have added an entry to the Ideas Page about the Sentinel-2 imagery. Despite the presence of date/time information, the layer is not recognized as a time aware layer. This means you cannot utilize the time aware configurable app with the Sentinel-2 service. Seems like this would be ideal since dealing with the filters in the service isn't that elegant so my Idea suggests making the Sentinel-2 imagery time aware so that it can be used with that app template. Anyways, vote up if you find it useful. ... View more

Here's what ESRI said about this the last time they made a post about this topic. There is also a linked ArcGIS Blog post with complimentary info. I had a situation similar to yours  with a layer of 14,000 polygons and I couldn't get it to fully display even though I was using simple symbology (solid color fill, no outline) and time based queries. I was trying to use it with a story map so I eventually gave up and made an animated GIF as a workaround. ... View more

Can you also still follow the suggestion in this thread by editing the layer within Arcmap and then posting the updates back to the hosted layer? ... View more

Well, the first step is that all of your map layers have to be using HTTPS URLs. If your map's content is solely from within AGOL, you can use the open that's found on the settings map for your web map: If your map contains layers that are coming from 3rd party sources (self hosted AGS layers, etc), then you'll need to update the REST URLs manually using the ArcGIS Online Assistant. This last step assumes that the 3rd party services you are consuming have been published as HTTPS, and that's not a given. Before you do any of that, try this: change the URL inside your IFRAME element from the "//...." URL structure to the more traditional "http://.." structure. When you do that, try to use HTTPS instead of HTTP and see if that changes any of the behavior you're seeing. I took your HTTP URL and changed the beginning to HTTPS and the map opened just fine so maybe that's all you need to do. Try the easiest thing first! ... View more

I coped the URL link you posted and it opened successfully in a new tab so that's good. One thing I did notice is that the map opened as an unsecured link (http instead of https). Do you know if you're mixing content with the website you're trying to embed this into? I know you're using an iframe which should isolate the website from the page it's embedded inside of but maybe there's some sort of http/https mixed content issue going on? Steve ... View more

If this content is being used in in an AGOL web map, can I remove the definition query from there as well? My recollection is that I got the direct REST URL for the Sentinel-2 imagery from AGOL, then created a "new item from URL" within my AGOL Organizational account so that it had my organizational account authorization, and then added that item to a web map which I then shared publicly. I'd prefer to hit on the most recent image in my map rather than best cloud-free option. I just don't know if I have that level of control from solely within AGOL rather than ArcGIS Pro which you're showing in your screenshot. Thanks! Steve ... View more

So what controls the default image date used for a given area? I have an area of interest (-122.745 43.525 Degrees) that I am monitoring using the Sentinel-2 imagery and that area was not updated between October 30th and November 19th despite the fact that there was a cloud free acquisition on November 9th. This was what I noticed whether I was using the Sentinel Explorer app or my own Web app that I created where I stored my AGOL organizational account credentials. Steve ... View more

Yeah, I think this is a difference between what the MOOC wanted you to load and what I was providing as an alternate. The layer as the MOOC suggests (that requires the Organizational account login) is the actual raster image, complete with access to the individual bands of the image. The link I provided is a tile cached mosaic. With that type of layer, there are no individual bands to access or manipulate. All hope is not lost, however! The USDA NAIP also serves up some historical NAIP imagery which DOES allow access to the individual bands. Here is the top level folder for it: Folder: NAIP_Historical  Simply copy the URL for one of the subfolders (its based on individual states) listed and then add it to your map as I originally suggested. I think you'll be able to proceed with the MOOC's instructions from that point on. ... View more
