Share a Map
The easiest way to share a map with others is to send the URL of the map you are working with so that they can open the same map in their browser. When you send a URL, the other person can also interact with the map and see all the layers and features that you can see. When you share a map, the following data is visible:
- The current map extent.
- The current visible layers.
- The State of the toolbar (open/closed).
- The state of the information panel (open/closed).
- The state of the overview map (open/closed).
To share a map by sending a URL:
-
Click the I Want To menu and select Share current map
.The Share Current Map dialog box opens with the URL to the current map highlighted.
