You can detect changes, make comparisons, or study relationships.\r\n\r\nThere's a very quick and easy way to compare two web maps side by side using the preview capabilities available in\u00a0ArcGIS Online<\/a>\u00a0app templates.\r\n\r\nFirst, choose two web maps that you want to compare. For this tip's purposes, go to the\u00a0ArcGIS Online Gallery<\/a>and select the maps\u00a0USA Median Household Income<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0USA Unemployment Rate<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThese maps can be placed side by side to explore how the unemployment rate in 2012 compared to the median household income in various parts of the country in that same year.\r\n\r\nHere's the easy way to make this type of map using the Swipe Tool.\r\n\r\nStep 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Open the USA Median Household Income map. Each map has an ID. Like your social security number or driver license, this ID is unique and can be used to reference the map. You'll find the ID in the URL for the map. Simply highlight it and copy it. Do not copy the complete URL.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Open the second map you want to compare, in this case it's USA Unemployment Rate. Once opened, click Share and then choose Make a Web Application.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 3:<\/strong>\u00a0Locate the Swipe Tool, currently found on page 3 of the template gallery.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Click the arrow next to publish, and choose Preview as shown below:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStep 5:<\/strong>\u00a0After opening the Swipe Tool in preview mode, add a comma at the end of the URL (after the map ID) and paste the map ID you copied in the first step above after the comma (omitting any spaces).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHit Enter, and you've got a quick visual comparison of two maps using the Swipe Tool template. Grab the red line with your mouse and move it back and forth to compare the two maps.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou can save and share the URL you've pasted together or, as an alternative, you can also host the Swipe Tool application and configure it to use both web maps.\r\n\r\nRead\u00a0About using web maps to learn more<\/a>."}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"\nCompare Two Web Maps, Side by
