ArcGIS Instant Apps<\/a> quickly<\/span>\u00a0transform your maps into ap<\/span>ps to provide your audience with an intuitive experience to interact with your maps and data.\u202f<\/span>This blog\u00a0illustrates how you can highlight different stories from the same data or map using\u00a0a handful of\u00a0Instant Apps.<\/span> All the examples will use National Park data and maps. Using different Instant Apps, we can answer a variety of questions and showcase specific map features.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The eight Instant Apps were created using the following datasets from the National Park Service:<\/span>
\nNational Park Boundaries<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

National Park Service Trails<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

National Park Service POIs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instant App #1:\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Zone Lookup<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

This app was inspired by this\u00a0<\/span>blog post<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>Zone Lookup Instant App<\/span><\/a>\u00a0returns\u00a0information about a zone (polygon)\u00a0based on a\u00a0location;\u00a0think searching for your school zone based on your\u00a0location. In this app, we\u00a0used\u00a0the nearest\u00a0National\u00a0Park\u00a0theissian\u00a0polygons idea from the\u00a0previously mentioned\u00a0blog post\u00a0as the polygon layer\u00a0identified\u00a0in the search. The point of interests and trails were included as well, so that when an address is searched and a polygon is\u00a0identified, points of interests and trails\u00a0located\u00a0in that polygon are returned.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1907442,"id":1907442,"title":"ZoneLookup","filename":"ZoneLookup.png","filesize":2393951,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/instant-apps\/mapping\/same-data-different-stories-instant-apps-showcasing-national-parks\/zonelookup-3","alt":"Search results showing closest national park","author":"6941","description":"","caption":"","name":"zonelookup-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1329932,"date":"2023-04-18 15:03:53","modified":"2023-04-18 15:04:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1912,"height":1036,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":251,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":416,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup.png","large-width":1912,"large-height":1036,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup-1536x832.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":832,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup.png","2048x2048-width":1912,"2048x2048-height":1036,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup-826x448.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":448,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ZoneLookup.png","wide_image-width":1912,"wide_image-height":1036}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Perhaps the simplest app created, this app shows the location and an image of each National Park.\u00a0The\u00a0<\/span>Attachment Viewer Instant App<\/span><\/a>\u00a0allows easy exploration of feature attachments, with attachment focused tools and multiple layout options.\u00a0The\u00a0images were added to the National Parks layer through the attribute table in Map Viewer Classic.\u00a0Then the Attachment Viewer app was created from that map and voila! You have a picture filled app that zooms to a picture and location for each park.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instant App #3:\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Countdown<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

For this app, we merged the\u00a0National Parks Visits data to the\u00a0National Park\u00a0data from the\u00a0earlier\u00a0app to create an app ranking the\u00a0most popular\u00a0National Parks.\u00a0The\u00a0<\/span>Countdown Instant App<\/span><\/a>\u00a0enables you to create an interactive “top-ten” experience that tours through a statistical map.\u00a0<\/span>The app itself ranks National Parks based on their 2020 visits and includes charts illustrating annual visits for each park since 2011.

Meant to act as a hiking route planner, the app includes trails and POIs in the Grand Canyon. A few cool features in the app are the elevation profile and measurement tools that enable you to measure both elevation changes and distance. In addition the daylight tool to animate daylight and shadows for a specific date and time.
