Make maps online that encourage interaction

Interactive maps create immersive experiences that take maps from a static view to an opportunity for users to explore. Make maps with enhanced details. New perspectives spring from the map as you zoom in, search, and interact with the data.

There are many ways to explore interactive maps in ArcGIS Online. Here are several options:

  • Gain additional details as you zoom in
  • Click on the map to see region-specific information in text, tables, and images
  • Search the world's locations and your custom locations
  • Get additional perspectives by filtering data and changing colours 
Share your interactive maps

Add context to your data


Seeing your data on a map is enlightening, and it also leads you to ask new questions. Add authoritative data to your map to gain perspective and find answers to your questions. ArcGIS Online includes the extensive collection of ready-to-use maps and data in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.

Dynamic data shows current conditions

A collection of live feeds showcases our planet's current conditions including weather, natural disasters, earth systems, and traffic. Tap into, analyse, and display these live feeds in your maps and apps. These feeds are reliable and robust, scaling to meet the demands of millions of views per week.

Build on high-quality basemaps

Make maps by placing your data on a ready-made canvas. ArcGIS Online includes the broadest collection of current, historic, and creative basemaps. These high-quality basemaps, maintained by Esri, are built using authoritative commercial and community data. Give context and personality to your data using a variety of basemaps.

Understand your data through visualisation and exploration

Patterns and spatial relationships emerge when you visualise your data in a map. Smart mapping helps you turn raw data into information by guiding your exploration and visualisation. Suggested colours, styles, and symbols help you find and emphasize the interesting aspects of your data's story.
