Hi Tomoko, We are in the process of redesigning Map Tour from scratch, so we are not planning to make any updates to the existing Map Tour app. The new Map Tour (in which we plan to have support for panning across the date line) should be released in beta later this year, but likely not in time for your June expedition report. I would recommend creating your story using the Map Journal app, which does support panning across the date line. Use a single map with an appropriate basemap (Oceans?) and any other layers you want, and then for each section set the map to show the location you want and add your photo(s) and text to the side panel to tell the story for that location. Here are two Map Journal stories that follow this pattern as examples: http://story.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=dc91db9f6409462b887ebb1695b9c201  http://clarion.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=55f4caa384c84c87b257089da4d9d634  I hope this is helpful, Owen ...

Hi Kate, I wouldn't recommend embedding a Swipe app in a Cascade for the reasons you mention. When you have apps inside of apps it can be difficult to get the right interaction experience for your readers. However, you can define swipe transitions between the views of an immersive section, so just add the maps in your swipe app to two views and set one of the swipe transitions between them. Let me know how it goes. Owen ... View more

Hi James, Even though you are viewing your story through your customized app you should still be able to edit the story content using the builder that's hosted on ArcGIS Online. http://dcgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=221d5bffdd61468b8463d67b1b2d596d&edit   If you want to use the builder through your customized version of the app you'll need to register the app, get an oAuthAppId, and add that to your index.html. When you mentioned you "registered" your app what you did was just add your app's URL as an item, you still need to go to the Settings tab of its item page and click Register at the bottom of the page. More details here: Add items—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  Let me know if this helps.

Hi Kate, In the March 2017 release of Cascade we replaced the underlying tech we were using for image galleries so that it could support multiple rows of images and dynamic layouts, but we didn't have time to redo the click-to-expand feature. We do still plan to add that back in a future release, and I'm sorry this affected your story. Owen ... View more

Hi Angie, We had a software release at the beginning of March in which we fixed several issues with map configuration in Cascade. Several people have reported that the update fixed the issues they were having. Could you please try your workflow again and let me know if you are still having a problem? Owen ... View more

Hi Stefano, Due to browser security practices, the Locate button is blocked whenever an app is embedded in another app/page (even over https). If you need your readers to be able to use the Locate button you'll need to provide a link to your Map Tour in the text of your Map Series so the Tour will open in another browser tab as opposed to embedding it in the Map Series.

Hi Mila, You can try one of two things. I'd recommend the first. Make tiles from your features. See Publish hosted tile layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS. You can still have pop-ups with tiles as long as you also have a feature layer of the same data (which you already do). You just add the tile layer to the map and then use the feature layer to define the pop-ups. If you enable pop-ups on a tile layer it may ask you to specify which feature layer should drive the pop-ups. OR Make sure you are using a generalized county layer. If the layer you are using has very detailed county data it will be very slow to draw. You need to generalize your data (in Pro) before publishing or use a generalized layer from the Living Atlas to join your attributes to. Features will still draw more slowly than tiles, but using a generalized layer should at least speed it up to the point where the entire layer will draw. If you expect your readers to zoom in to large scales you can keep the detailed feature layer in the map, but make it visible only at those large scales by setting a Visibility Range. Owen ...

Hi Matt, Sorry you are encountering this issue, but I'm glad it doesn't appear to be affecting the viewing of your story. We'll take a look at this for our next release in the summer. Great job on the story, by the way -- it looks great! Owen ... View more
