New 2023 County Health Rankings data are available in ArcGIS Living Atlas. The Rankings are compiled using county-level measures from a variety of national and state data sources. This year’s new measures are Voter Turnout and Census Participation. The County Health Rankings and Roadmaps (CHR&R), a program of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute with support provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, measures the health of nearly all counties in the nation and rank them within states. The Rankings are compiled using county-level measures from a variety of national and state data sources. Counties are ranked within their state on both health outcomes and health factors. Health Outcomes tell us how long people live on average within a community, and how much physical and mental health people experience in a community while they are alive. Health Factors represent those things we can improve to live longer and healthier lives. They are indicators of the future health of our communities. Chart Viewer Instant App This year’s new measures are Voter Turnout, the percentage of citizen population aged 18 or older who voted in the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, and Census Participation, the percentage of all households that self-responded to the 2020 census (by internet, paper questionnaire, or telephone). These are both in this year’s layer, along with accompanying web maps (Voter Turnout, Census Self-Response Participation). These web maps are for users who want pre-configured maps to use in an instant app, dashboard, story, or hub site. For more information, see New County Health Rankings data in ArcGIS Living Atlas.

To close out this thread, the root cause of the issue was discovered, which is not with Google Drive files or the workflow to create feature layers from Google. If Google Drive is part of your workflow, feature layer creation works just fine.

Send me a few rows from your CSV if you can, and I'll test it out on my end. You can copy/paste here or send as attachment to [email protected] You are using ArcGIS Online, correct? But it looks like you are viewing things in Map Viewer Classic?

Since I had some sample cases from an earlier blog I had written, I went through the paces comparing a local CSV that I used to create a feature layer with a Google Drive CSV that I used to create a feature layer. Both are exactly the same, with no differences or offset. I also looked at the coordinates stored in the feature layer tables and they are exactly the same, preserving precision throughout the import workflows. I did this comparison by importing a CSV into ArcGIS Online from a local file source on my drive. I repeated by taking that same file and adding it to Google Drive, then importing and publishing the feature layer from Google. It seems you are comparing publishing from ArcGIS Desktop to Online, then from Google to Online. I would suggest trying a few rows of that file as I have described above - that might help isolate where things differ. And also checking the coordinates you see in the Google Drive file vs. the local CSV. A Google search also uncovered some commentary about precision and rounding when using Google sheets, that might be worth considering as well.

The before and after for California's Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is my fav. But check out the story to see how #ArcGISPro can be leveraged for before/after visualization and for more compelling examples presented so well in this story.

I took a quick look, hoping to come up with a solution based on Destination In blending and duplicate layers that I used to create this map: https://onlinelabs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=398294b197dc4daf814ce9061950eae7 That map was created using this technique: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/local-focus/#blen4 However, it seems that labels behave very much like reference layers - they are always on top, and all you can do is turn them off or on. Just as you have found out... I've not found a way to hide or darken them using others layers, blending, or anything else that comes to mind. And there is the issue that labels can cross any kind of boundaries (states in your case) that you want to use to hide them. If it is only the stations/labels along the selected state boundaries you want to show, then you could apply a spatial filter (using analysis) to only show those stations adjacent to your states of interest. Or perhaps you've got the attributes along with your stations that would allow you to filter for specific states. Let's see if others might have a better suggestion.

Thanks for the image, I understand what you are trying to do though not quite sure how to go about doing it. I'm thinking it's going to take some experimentation... I'll see if I can find some time later today to come up with a similar map to your yours to experiment.

You could always implement this by adding the item page URL to your pop-up for the feature layers.

Standard LODs are built-in to ArcGIS Online web maps. When publishing from ArcGIS Pro, you can set up your published layers with the very same LODs (recommended to play well in the Online-o-Verse). If you do want your very own LODs, I think your best experience would be by publishing your own basemaps and operationals layers in your desired LODs. However, that means that others leveraging your layers and maps also will have difficulty in finding the sweet spot WRT resolution. Best to stick with the standard LODs IMHO unless you are building maps/layers that will live in their own LOD universe.

Without a URL to your map I'm only guessing... But it seems to me that you might be using a basemap with a reference layer. Some have these, some don't. The reference layer will always be on top of everything else in your map, and as a separate later is not subject to the same layer effects as you may have applied to other layers. See your basemap settings: If you have a reference layer you can get rid of it, or add it to your basemap layers. Also, when applying blending effects, check out groups as groups "encapsulate" the effect within the layers that are in the group. You can always create your own custom basemap leveraging various reference and other layers from Living Atlas and use these within your map, or make a new map with the desired reference layer configurations and add it to your custom basemap gallery (requires admin privileges).

The Imagery Transition Basemap (by @AndrewSkinner ) is one of my favs and I've added it to my organization's custom basemap gallery. It transitions as you zoom in to imagery. https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=0f31140623f9401e8c189a497f234dda

Hi Ryan The issues that were discussed in this thread have been reproduced and a fix has already been applied on the development environment. I've not verified the fix yet, but will do so. The issue can happen when you use both the Zoom in the Sidebar panel, and also a custom search target in the Search tool. AFAIK there haven't been any changes. Remember that there are two zoom settings that can be configured. One is for the Zoom link you see in the Sidebar panel when you click a feature, the other is an option zoom scale for when you've configure the Search tool. Maybe that is what you are noticing now. The Instant Apps are available in the ArcGIS Online Early Adopter program.

It would be helpful to know which basemaps you are having issues with. Just about all, save for two country-specific basemaps from Esri distributors, are completely public. Here's the list of Esri basemaps, all public: https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/en/browse/#d=2&categories=Basemaps&type=maps&cont=true

After further experimentation, I may be seeing similar search zoom behavior. If possible, can you share the map with me and how you configured it? I've managed to come up with a repro case, but your specific example would be helpful if it is available. Here's my repro case, see if you can replicate what you see with this example: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=f32fb897044a4cee872949d2dbe04115 In the above, a layer in the map has been configured as the search target. Enter the name of a pass (you can start with "s") to check things out. Then pan or zoom to another feature and click to display the pop-up in the sidebar, then click zoom. I've discovered there's a certain sequence that can result in what's been noted above. See if you concur. Anticipate a fix in the upcoming June update (if not earlier).
