ArcGIS Online Web Map containing ESRI Streets at small scales and FSTopo Basemap at scales larger than 1:144,448. This basemap web map is designed to be used in ArcGIS Online mapping applications with other map services or features services overlayed on the FSTopo basemap.

The ArcGIS World Geocoding Service finds addresses and places in all supported countries around the world in a single geocoding service. The service can find point locations of addresses, cities, landmarks, business names, and other places. The output points can be visualized on a map, inserted as stops for a route, or loaded as input for a spatial analysis.The service is available as both a geosearch and geocoding service:Geosearch Services – The primary purpose of geosearch services is to locate a feature or point of interest and then have the map zoom to that location. The result might be displayed on the map, but the result is not stored in any way for later use. Requests of this type do not require a subscription or a credit fee. Geocoding Services – The primary purpose of geocoding services is to convert an address to an x,y coordinate and append the result to an existing record in a database. Mapping is not always involved, but placing the results on a map may be part of a workflow. Batch geocoding falls into this category. Geocoding requires a subscription. An ArcGIS Online Subscription, or ArcGIS Location Platform Subscription, will provide you access to the ArcGIS World Geocoding service for batch geocoding.The service can be used to find address and places for many countries around the world. For detailed information on this service, including a data coverage map, visit the ArcGIS World Geocoding service documentation.

Hong Kong has a lot of real-time data which are made available by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at https://DATA.GOV.HK/ (“DATA.GOV.HK”). These data were processed and converted to Esri File Geodatabase format and then uploaded to Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform.These series of Operations Dashboard integrate different available real-time datasets in Hong Kong to provide a dashboard interface for monitoring real-time data feed on your desktop or tablet device. The objectives are to facilitate our Hong Kong ArcGIS Online users to view these data in a spatial ready format and save their data conversion effort.These series of Operations Dashboard come in three themes, environmental, traffic and integrated.The Environmental theme contains real-time temperature, air quality health risk and air pollution concentration of different districts in Hong Kong. Traffic theme contains real-time information of estimated journey time, car park vacancy, traffic speed of major roads, traffic snapshot images and speed map panels in Hong Kong.The integrated theme combines the above two sets of data, which are environmental and traffic, and makes them into one single dashboard view.

The ArcGIS Online US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map collection now contains over 177,000 historical quadrangle maps dating from 1882 to 2006. The USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer app brings these maps to life through an interface that guides users through the steps for exploring the map collection:

Finding the maps of interest is simple. Users can see a footprint of the map in the map view before they decide to add it to the display, and thumbnails of the maps are shown in pop-ups on the timeline. The timeline also helps users find maps because they can zoom and pan, and maps at select scales can be turned on or off by using the legend boxes to the left of the timeline. Once maps have been added to the display, users can reorder them by dragging them. Users can also download maps as zipped GeoTIFF images. Users can also share the current state of the app through a hyperlink or social media. This ArcWatch article guides you through each of these steps: https://www.esri.com/esri-news/arcwatch/1014/envisioning-the-past.

Collection of multispectral imagery from an aerial sensor is a means to obtain plot-level vegetation index (VI) values; however, post-capture image processing and analysis remain a challenge for small-plot researchers. An ArcGIS Pro workflow of two task items was developed with established routines and commands to extract plot-level VI values (Normalized Difference VI, Ratio VI, and Chlorophyll Index-Red Edge) from multispectral aerial imagery of small-plot turfgrass experiments. Users can access and download task item(s) from the ArcGIS Online platform for use in ArcGIS Pro. The workflow standardizes the processing of aerial imagery to ensure repeatability between sampling dates and across site locations. A guided workflow saves time with assigned commands, ultimately allowing users to obtain a table with plot descriptions and index values within a .csv file for statistical analysis. The workflow was used to analyze aerial imagery from a small-plot turfgrass research study evaluating herbicide effects on St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] grow-in. To compare methods, index values were extracted from the same aerial imagery by TurfScout, LLC and were obtained by handheld sensor. Index values from the three methods were correlated with visual percentage cover to determine the sensitivity (i.e., the ability to detect differences) of the different methodologies.
