I've got several hundred images from a drone that I would like to have in a webmap so that people could click on the area in question and "inspect" the items in the photos. Drone2Map makes a wonderful layer of all the points from each geotagged photo, and in the software I can click on a point and see the photo. 

How can I get that point layer and photo to a webmap? The idea is to create an Inspection Area webmap/app from the images taken by the drone. I have also used the Story Map Tour to show the map and the photos and it works great for a small number of photos. It's doesn't work so good for several hundred photos over the course of a couple miles.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi April, 

GeoTagged Photos To Points—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop  (Available in ArcMap & ArcGIS Pro) will allow you to create a similar feature class to what you see in Drone2Map - this can then be shared to ArcGIS Online. 

If you use Operations Dashboard the image will appear directly in the pop up instead of having to open it in a new tab.
