ArcGIS Online Tips and Tricks

[MichaelKelly]

ArcGIS Online gives you the ability to discover, use, make, and share maps from any device, anywhere, anytime. It is constantly being updated, and in this webinar, Michael Kelly (Technical Sales Engineer) of Esri Ireland will highlight some of his favourite things about ArcGIS Online. One of these favourites is what3words-ArcGIS Online integration. Hence, we will also have a guest speaker, Tim Williams, who is the Commercial Director of what3words. what3words is a global grid of 57 trillion 3mx3m squares. Each square has a 3 word address that can be communicated quickly, easily and with no ambiguity. what3words can now be integrated with ArcGIS Online! Tune in for further details!

As we ran out of time, I have created a video demonstrating how to author a web scene from ArcGIS Pro. It is accessible on YouTube (embedded below). You can view the final WebScene here.
