ArcGIS Earth Desktop 1.17\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Winter release of ArcGIS Earth is here! This latest release comes with several new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, including support for mobile geodatabase<\/span>s<\/span>, directions and routing, creating and sharing map layouts, and saving feature layers as KMZ. <\/span>Highlights are described below:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile geodatabase<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

ArcGIS Earth now has support for <\/span>mobile geodatabase<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0Stored in a SQLite database, a mobile geodatabase contains a collection of GIS data in a single file. A mobile geodatabase can house both spatial and nonspatial data, including tables, feature classes, relationship classes, and feature datasets. Support for mobile geodatabase<\/span>s<\/span> is the foundation for interoperability with ArcGIS Runtime<\/span>. <\/span>By adding mobile geodatabase support to ArcGIS Earth, users can integrate into a broader range of workflows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions and routing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Navigation elements are now supported within ArcGIS Earth, giving users the ability to view detailed turn-by-turn directions with the accompanied route within their scene. The directions window allows users to choose between driving and walking travel modes, as well as add or switch stops. Once a route is created it can be exported as a .kmz file to share with others.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The days of relying on an external application or an active connection to perform navigation workflows are over. The direction and routing feature greatly reduces friction to the user experience, while also providing critical functionality to the disconnected user.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1799452,"id":1799452,"title":"ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing","filename":"ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","filesize":930041,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-earth\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-earth-mobile-and-desktop-winter-2022\/arcgisearth1-17_direction_routing","alt":"","author":"324122","description":"Screenshot of the new directions and routing feature added to ArcGIS Earth Desktop 1.17.","caption":"","name":"arcgisearth1-17_direction_routing","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1799402,"date":"2022-12-16 14:14:55","modified":"2022-12-16 14:16:24","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":1154,"height":811,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","medium-width":371,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":540,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","large-width":1154,"large-height":811,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","1536x1536-width":1154,"1536x1536-height":811,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","2048x2048-width":1154,"2048x2048-height":811,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing-662x465.png","card_image-width":662,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_Direction_Routing.png","wide_image-width":1154,"wide_image-height":811}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Map layout export<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A <\/span>layout<\/span><\/a> is a collection of map elements organized on a virtual page designed for printing or sharing. ArcGIS Earth users can now create a layout from their current scene, along with supporting elements such as a north arrow, scale bar, legend, descriptive text, dynamic text, and an image. The ArcGIS Earth user experience is enhanced with the addition of a dedicated window for designing a custom scene layout. Within this window, users can interactively adjust the scene and customize the size, style, and position of map elements. In addition, ArcGIS Earth layouts also support general page settings, including page size, orientation, and margins.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new map layout functionality allows users to incorporate geospatial and non-geospatial information, including analytical outputs, all generated within ArcGIS Earth, into finished products. User created layouts can be exported as an image file (JPEG, PNG, TIFF) or printed as a PDF or hard copy.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1799502,"id":1799502,"title":"ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample","filename":"ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","filesize":1777090,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-earth\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-earth-mobile-and-desktop-winter-2022\/arcgisearth1-17_layoutexample","alt":"","author":"324122","description":"","caption":"","name":"arcgisearth1-17_layoutexample","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1799402,"date":"2022-12-16 15:15:28","modified":"2022-12-16 15:15:28","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":1267,"height":877,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","medium-width":377,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":532,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","large-width":1267,"large-height":877,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","1536x1536-width":1267,"1536x1536-height":877,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","2048x2048-width":1267,"2048x2048-height":877,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample-672x465.png","card_image-width":672,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ArcGISEarth1.17_LayoutExample.png","wide_image-width":1267,"wide_image-height":877}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Save feature layers as .kmz<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Exporting feature layers as a .kmz through the attribute table was a new feature supported by ArcGIS Earth in the previous version. Building upon that release, saving feature layers as a .kmz can be done a whole new way. Users with the correct privileges can now right-click on a feature layer and export to .kmz directly from the table of contents.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feature service automatic refresh<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

ArcGIS Earth now supports the ability to turn on\/off automatic refresh of feature layers. In addition, users can change the refresh rate of feature layers by accessing layer properties.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enhancements\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Animation improvement to interactive analysis<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Animations in ArcGIS Earth received a considerable update to improve the user experience. Brand new animation settings have been added to the user interface for line of sight and viewshed analysis, including the ability to add your own 3D models to a scene. The following 3D model formats are supported:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
