StoryTelling with ArcGIS Online Jirka Pánek //

Everyone has a story to tell StoryMaps Esri can be used – via Esri servers – on your own server

Apps with “builders” Are hosted at Esri servers Some limitations apply – such as pictures hosting, etc.

Story Map Tour The Story Map Tour app is ideal when you want to present a linear, place-based narrative featuring images or videos. Each "story point" in the narrative is geo-located. Your users have the option of clicking sequentially through the narrative, or they can browse by interacting with the map or using the thumbnail carousel.

Story Map Journal The Story Map Journal is ideal when you want to combine narrative text with maps and other embedded content. A Map Journal contains entries, or sections, that users simply scroll through. Each section in a Map Journal has an associated map, image, video or web page. Actions can also be defined in journal sections so that, for example, clicking a word automatically zooms the section’s map to a particular location.

Story Map Series The Story Map Series app lets you present a series of maps via tabs, numbered bullets, or our expandable 'side accordion' control. In addition to maps, you can also include images, video and web content in your series to tell your story and engage your audience. For example the first tab in a tabbed series can be a compelling photo that sets the scene.

Story Map Swipe/Spyglass The Story Map Swipe and Spyglass app enables users to interact with two web maps or two layers of a single web map, depending on how you build your story. The app enables you to present a single view, or to develop a narrative showing a series of locations or views of the same maps.

Story Map Basic The Story Map Basic app is a simple map viewer with a minimalist user interface. Apart from the title bar and an optional legend, the map fills the screen. Use this app to let your map speak for itself. Your users can click features on the map to get more information in pop-ups.

Apps to be downloaded No limitations regarding pictures and other data Own server and programming skills are required

Story Map Shortlist The Story Map Shortlist app lets you organize points of interest into tabs that make it fun for users to explore what's in an area. Your users can click on the places either in the tabs or on the map to find out about them. The tabs automatically update as users navigate around the map to show them what's interesting in their current map extent.

Story Map Playlist The Story Map Playlist app enables you to feature a selection of locations as clickable map icons and as a list of thumbnails that appear within a side panel. Users can click an item on the thumbnail list or click a map icon to view map pop-ups. Playlists tap a single web map that includes an array of locations, usually derived from a CSV spreadsheet.

Story Map Countdown The Story Map Countdown app enables users to explore a list of places in a particular order. It provides overview and large scale map views simultaneously. While the Countdown app presentation style most effectively shows ranked lists (largest, best, most popular), the app can also be used for regular listings.
