• Allows you to create individual features for your project (points, lines and polygons). Each feature can be made interactive by adding information to the pop-up box such as the title, a description of the area or a multimedia feature such as a photograph.

Add layer from file

• If you have shapefiles created in ArcGIS, KMZ files created in Google Earth, CSV, TXT or GPX files, these can be loaded into your web map and displayed in the same manner as the original program.

Add layer from the web

• Some companies and organizations offer GIS shapefiles through a server that can be accessed using the web map. A URL to the server where the file is hosted is required to display in ArcGIS Online Web Map.
