Introducing StoryMaps.com: powerful, personal storytelling
Today, Esri is introducing StoryMaps.com—a powerful, personal storytelling tool—to the world.
Designed to make everyone a storyteller, StoryMaps is a new, direct-to-consumer product you can use to creatively combine your text and media with interactive maps—all on StoryMaps.com.
StoryMaps, as you might imagine, is very similar to ArcGIS StoryMaps. However, StoryMaps is not part of the ArcGIS system. It's a consumer-friendly version of Esri’s powerful mapping and storytelling technology that anyone can use.
ArcGIS StoryMaps remains Esri’s storytelling tool for professionals and organizations. In fact, its success and all the wonderful stories created over the years by you, the ArcGIS community, inspired us to expand access to these capabilities. You can see an overview of the two products on Esri.com/storymaps.
We invite you to try StoryMaps by making an account on StoryMaps.com.
There is a 30-day free trial that provides full access to all its features. After 30 days, you can continue your subscription or keep the free version with essential storytelling capabilities.
We're very excited about this new product and believe you will be, too! We are looking forward to reading stories about your adventures and experiences with friends, food, family, and more created with StoryMaps.
If you'd like to help us spread the word about StoryMaps, please engage with us on social media and share the announcement posts that will be available soon on Esri's Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn channels. You can also read more in this press release.
