Below is a quick rundown of the tools available in the web map!The first new thing you may notice is the ability to search from in the splash window that appears. This hopefully reduces the number of clicks people will need to get to their information. There's the same search bar in the upper left once you click out of the splash screen.The Query tool has existed in this form on the sub-maps, but now it is here with all the layers. I want to highlight "Search by Legal Description" as a nifty way to find parcels associated with a specific subdivision. I also want to highlight the "find tax parcels/addresses within specified distance" queries. Those let you select every tax parcel or address within a feature you draw (a point, line, or polygon). This is good for finding what properties within a distance need to be notified of something. That can then be exported as an Excel table (csv). This can also help you identify whether something falls within certain setbacks.The Basemaps is the same as it was before. I haven't gotten the Virginia Geographic Information Network imagery from 2017 and 2021 to successfully appear here, but you can find that in the map layers at the bottom.We have a lot of data layers! I currently have the default as every group expanded out, so you can scroll and see all the layers, but you can go through and click to collapse any groups you don't want expanded. Okay, the select tool is super cool, and lets you really dive into some fun GIS attribute querying! As an example, you can select all the FEMA Flood Zones that are AO, then select all the tax parcels that are affected by (intersect) those AO zones! These results can also be exported into an Excel table. A great deal of GIS analysis is possible just using Select by Attributes and Select by Location, so this tool really ramps up the power of the web map so it can do some of what the desktop GIS software can do!Continuing our tour of the tools, we come to the coordinates tool. This one also existed already in the sub-maps, but is now with all the layers. Unfortunately, the tool is a little annoying, and won't retain my defaults. You have to click the little plus sign target thing, then you can click on the map to get the coordinates. The coordinate system defaults to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (the same thing Google Maps uses), but much of our data uses NAD 1983 State Plane Virginia South, so you can click the dropdown arrow to the right to select either one. Exciting news related to this: in 2026 they are releasing the new coordinate system on which they've been working! It should make the data in GIS more closely align with features in reality, but you will not need to change any of the ways you interact with the data.The next tool is the Elevation Profile tool. It's very nifty! You can draw a profile to see how the elevation changes, and as you move your cursor along the graph, it shows where along your transect you are! It helps explain some of the floodplain and sea level rise boundaries.You know the measure tool well, but this one retains the defaults in feet and acres, which is very exciting! No more having to change the units every time you want to measure (unless you want other than feet and acres).The draw tool is our penultimate stop on the tour! It is largely the same as what currently exists on the public web map, so I shan't delve into it here. When you draw a feature now though, it appears in the layers tab (until you close the map), which can let you toggle the drawing on and off to work with what is beneath it. It can help as you plan in where you might want to put new constructions.The print tool is also largely the same, but I've been finding the tool in this new Experience Builder format is less buggy than the one in the retiring Web App Builder that made the current Public Web Map.

This allows the policy to plan a balanced spatial distribution of the facility based on walking distance.
Accessibility dashboard for the University of Exeter showing the following features:Campus buildingsAcademic buildingsUniversity accommodationLibrariesStudent's Guild buildingsSports facilitiesOther buildingsAccessibility features (SDG 10)Wheelchair accessible buildingsDisabled parking spacesDisabled toiletsLiftsAccessibility spaces (e.g. AccessAbility rooms, disability support services)Disabled refuge system call pointsWheelchair access rampsGender neutral toiletsHealth and wellbeing features (SDG 3)First aid locationsOutdoor wellbeing spacesDefibrillatorsFire assembly pointsSafer walking routesThe dashboard can be customised to suit an individual user's needs, by toggling the features listed above on and off. This is to allow the map to hold a lot of information and functionality, without being too cluttered upon initial loading. Whilst the map has the potential to become quite busy if all of the feature layers are turned on, the map is not intended to be used in this way, hence why the default is for the map to load with only buildings and safer walking routes visible.By clicking on an individual building or feature, a pop-up containing further information and photographs will appear. For buildings, there will be an option for the user to open Google Maps in a new tab, to allow them to easily navigate to any building from their current location. This was chosen as there is currently not a function within ArcGIS Online Dashboards to allow the user to input their own location for directions, but the dashboard could be updated appropriately if this function became available at a later date. For accessibility and wellbeing features, the pop-ups contain useful information such as the floor the feature is located on, whether there are any booking requirements to use the feature, whether the feature is fully functional, etc. This is to allow users with disabilities to be able to determine which buildings on campus are suitable for them - for example, a user in a wheelchair can click on accessible parking spaces to see whether they are able to get into the building without assistance from the parking space, allowing them to make any necessary arrangements prior to their arrival.Through the use of ArcGIS Web Experience Builder, the dashboard has been customised to automatically change between two layout formats, depending on the user's screen size. This allows for the dashboard to be fully functional for users wanting to navigate the campuses on-the-go, without the need for a large screen size.

Low with deficit zone of experience greenery , water and squares both at building block level (smaller than 0.5 ha) (150m and 2 min walk) and at neighborhood level (larger than 0.5ha) (400m and 5 min walk). The deficit zone is the residential area that represents the inverse of the given range zone. By building block and neighbourhood experience greenery, water and squares we mean: - publicly accessible green for use: parks, pocket parks, hanging green, fort green, dog walking area, city forest, play forest, cemetery, green playgrounds, publicly accessible building green - agricultural or agricultural green, unless completely inaccessible - natural green, unless completely inaccessible: e.g. Hobokense Polder, Wolvenberg - water: e.g. Galgenweel, Burchtse Weel, Docks, Scheldt - publicly accessible paved areas: squares, green squares, small street corner squares, sports grounds (NOT: roads, footpaths and cycle paths) - building block (less than 0,5 ha or 5.000m2): For example, greenery around St. Paul's Church, Throne Place, Conscience Square - neighborhood (greater than 0.5 ha or 5,000m2): e.g. Harmoniepark, Dageraadplaats, Grote Markt, Theaterplein This data layer is updated annually in January, provided that the facility is managed and updated annually by the relevant sector/service. The facility has a certain range based on walking distance, taking into account important barriers (water, ring, highway, rail,...) and safe crossings for vulnerable road users (tunnels, bridges, pedestrian crossings with traffic lights). A neighborhood and neighborhood facility gets a walking distance of respectively 400 meters and 800 meters (respectively 5 and 10 min walk). Facilities that function on district (district or postcode) have a range of 1600 meters (20 min walking or 8 min cycling). In combination with the deficit zone, this layer gives an idea of the spatial distribution of this facility. This allows the policy to plan a balanced spatial distribution of the facility based on walking distance.
