Jan. 18 -20 – Free online Community Maps Virtual Workshop

Description
Through Esri's Community Maps Program your organization can contribute its authoritative geographic data to become part of a community map that Esri publishes and hosts online. Your data is integrated with data from other providers and then published through ArcGIS Online as a map service. The community map is integrated into the World Topographic Map, hosted as part of ArcGIS Online maps, and freely accessible for use in your own applications. This workshop will teach recommended workflows to prepare your data, author a map document, and cache your data so that it can be included in the Community Maps Program.
Who Should Attend
GIS managers, technicians, spatial data managers, and other experienced ArcGIS users who will be involved in creating and maintaining a topographic community map service.

Author a multiscale basemap using the preconfigured topographic map template.
