The Fantasy and Literary Fiction atlas

[TomBaker]

There are a handful of fun and engaging fantasy maps in ArcGIS Online.  And, while I probably didn’t get all of them, I assembled a group of maps and shared through the Instant App template, called Atlas.

The intent of my atlas is to feature fantasy and literary fiction for the language arts classroom. It just so happens that Halloween is around the corner!  

Launch The Fantasy and Literary Fiction Atlas

To create my atlas, I followed these steps.

1. Figure 2Log into my ArcGIS Online organization.
2. Create a group in my ArcGIS Online organization.
3. Share the group publicly (although you can restrict your group sharing).
4. Save others’ (example) or share my (example) maps to the group.
5. Launch the Instant App widget (Figure 2)
6. Select the Atlas template.
7. Select my group (from step 1).
8. Change the title of my atlas to better describe my content.
9. Publish my atlas (figure 3).
10. Set the atlas share to everyone.

For school use beyond Halloween, my atlas will probably appeal most to language arts teachers.  So I’ll share my atlas through social media with those educators to see what traction I get. I'll also add to my atlas as new content becomes available to highlight.  Enjoy!

Cool idea! Maybe I missed something but the map has no layers when I view it...

Hi pat.

1. Are you pressing the "Open Map" button to select a fantasy map?

2. If so, which map are you trying to look at that isn't loading?

3. You might also try to load the app up in a private or incognito browser in case there was a hiccup when the atlas initially loaded.

4. If none of this helps, please let me know here or email me: tbaker (at) esri.com

Thanks!  tb

@TomBaker Sorry, I was on my phone and did not notice the "Open Map" button. Operator error. Thanks for setting me straight!
