I couldn't think of a better author than Allen for this book. I've had the privilege of knowing Allen since before he started his "encore career" at Esri when he was still Chief Cartographer and vice president at National Geographic Maps. His insights into effective storytelling are without equal. I've had the privilege of not only getting to know Allen as a good friend, but also working closely with Allen and his team at Esri focused on telling stories. This is a must-read from a true master in the art of storytelling with maps.

Intended for both educators and students, this new tutorial is of benefit to anyone that wants to get the most out of Sentinel-2 Explorer, one of the newest ArcGIS Living Atlas apps. This tutorial joins others covering satellite imagery-focused explorers: Learn to explore Landsat imagery using Landsat Explorer Learn to explorer Sentinel-1 imagery using Sentinel-1 Explorer Sentinel-2 is a European mission that utilizes wide-swath, high-resolution, multi-spectral imaging. Dedicated to Europe’s Copernicus programme, the mission supports operational applications primarily for land services, including the monitoring of vegetation, soil and water cover, as well as the observation of inland waterways and coastal areas. For more information, see Learn to explore Sentinel-2 imagery using Sentinel-2 Explorer. Visit the ArcGIS Living Atlas home page to learn about what's new and how to use content. See the ArcGIS Living Atlas blog for more blog articles that help you get the most out of Living Atlas.

The basemap you use in a web map will be referenced in the map. So if you had your organization settings set to "United States" you would see G of A. If you then switch your organization settings to "World" then the web map, and any apps it is used it, would still show G of A. Though new maps you author would show G of M. Same is true for ArcGIS Pro projects. If dual labeling is the goal, then personally I would create a custom basemap gallery for my organization and include both the United States and World (or other) versions of the basemap in that gallery, clearly name them as such, and then you can choose which you want when you author maps.

If the map has been deleted a while, and is not in your recycle bin, then I don't know of any way to bring it back to life. The Instant App simply references the web map, it does not duplicate or embed it within the app. Perhaps some somewhat good news is that you can reuse the work you put into that Sidebar by authoring a new map, and then in the Sidebar configuration choose the new map. For maps and apps that you want to ensure you don't accidentally delete, delete protection is useful. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/prevent-accidental-deletion/

This blog article covers the details of the implementation, and how users will see it (or not). https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-living-atlas/announcements/upcoming-feb-20th-release-of-esri-vector-basemaps/ Here's a follow-up blog with additional information that may be useful. https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/announcements/esri-vector-basemaps-for-united-states/ Any organization can create and use a custom basemap gallery. And you can edit any basemap using the Vector Tile Style Editor to reflect your own cartographic preferences, including changing labels for the Gulf and the highest mountain in the U.S. (I might suggest "Gulf of Bern" and "Mount Bern" if you are going to do that). An easier way if you don't want to see "Gulf of America" in your organization default basemaps is to simply set your organization region setting to World rather than United States. Same basemaps, different labels. Personally speaking, that is what I do. Bern

I just checked and the USGS National Map is available at all scales. Please try again. https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=71074ed09aab49328a85c860fc413379

The team reports that there is only one event developing from JTWC, with no updates from NHC for several days. https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/cyclones/

‎02-21-2025

The team reports that there hasn't been any activity on the source side for a few days - National Hurricane Center and Joint Typhoon Warning Center So there is nothing for the feed to update. NHC Active Tropical Cyclones Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)

Hi Ellen... Can you provide the link? I checked again and all the live feeds seem to be up-to-date and operating normally for me. I expect you are using this? https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=691f70d9a8b04cc2977467c2a2274d21 If so it seems to be operating normally and is up to date. I also checked the Live Feeds Dashboard, all good there... https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/livefeeds-status/

Members of the Living Atlas team reached out to the USGS and recieved a prompt reply. The USGS National Mapping Team is aware of the missing cache (which are seemingly due to server problems) and are working to solve the problems. With that in mind, I would anticipate a timely fix.

While not ideal, a temporary workaround is to add the USGS National Map layer on top of another basemap, such as the World Topographic. This will "fill in" the missing mid-level scales, though I've also noticed that what's missing is not completely across all scales, but partial at some.

Both the USGS National Map layer and map in the Living Atlas show an empty (not blank) screen at the mid-level scales. You can also see that here: The National Map - Advanced Viewer The content is in the Esri Living Atlas, however it from the USGS source. The Living Atlas team is checking into things on all ends...

I did a cursory check of all Living Atlas content (maps/apps/layers) in ArcGIS Online related to storms and specifically the historical storm content from NOAA. All seem to be fully operational with updates to feeds as of earlier today.
