Before you share a web map, take a few minutes to confirm that it\u2019s ready to share. Will other people understand the map? Will they trust it? Follow the tips below for some low-effort, high-impact ways to improve your map before sharing it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Determine your map’s purpose<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Ensure that the map\u2019s title is clear<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Remove unnecessary layers<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Hide unnecessary fields<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Ensure that the layer names are clear and consistent<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Ensure that field names and values are clear and consistent<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Disable pop-ups for layers that don\u2019t need them<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Simplify pop-ups<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Choose a neutral basemap<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Wrap the web map in an app, but limit the number of controls<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Determine your map’s purpose<\/h2>\n

    First, clarify why<\/em> you are sharing the map. All of the other advice in this article will be easy to follow if you know your map\u2019s purpose and difficult if you don\u2019t. Your purpose doesn\u2019t have to be world-changing, it can be as simple as I want my client to see the assets that I collected for them.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \u25b7 Read the article, Mapping with purpose<\/em><\/a> to learn how to determine your map\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n

    2. Ensure that the map\u2019s title is clear<\/h2>\n

    The map’s title should be free of codes and jargon, unambiguous, and reflect the map\u2019s purpose. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Original map name<\/strong><\/td>\nImproved name<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    RdDensity<\/td>\nRoad Density in Colchester County<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Hwy 4 status report<\/td>\nConstruction on Highway 4 nears completion<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    3. Remove unnecessary layers<\/h2>\n

    The fewer layers a map has, the more easily it can be understood. Remove duplicate layers, intermediate result layers, and any layers that aren\u2019t required for communicating the map\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n

    \u25b7 To remove a layer, open the Layers<\/strong> pane. Next to the layer\u2019s name, click the Options<\/strong> button.

    4. Hide unnecessary fields<\/h2>\n

    The fewer fields a layer has, the more easily it can be understood. Hide duplicate fields and fields where every record has the same value. If you don\u2019t understand the meaning of a field, your audience won\u2019t understand it either and you should probably hide it. Hide any fields that aren\u2019t required for communicating the map\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n

    5. Ensure that layer names are clear and consistent<\/h2>\n

    layer names should be free of codes and jargon and unambiguous to someone unfamiliar with the data. Imagine someone pointing to a symbol on the map and asking you what it is. The layer name should reflect how you would answer that question. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Original layer name<\/strong><\/td>\nImproved name<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Streets (Sackville) – Streets<\/td>\nSackville Streets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Crash Score_10<\/td>\nLowest scoring regions for traffic accidents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    quality – resultLayer<\/td>\nSidewalk Quality<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    You should also ensure that layer names are consistently phrased and formatted. It doesn\u2019t matter how you format layer names, so long as you do it consistently. In the example below I chose to format all layer names in title case with spaces between words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
    Original layer names<\/strong><\/td>\nImproved names<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    UNPAVED ROADS
    \nPaths&Trails
    \npaved Rds
    \nramps
    \nService_roads<\/td>\n    		Unpaved Roads
    \nPaths & Trails
    \nPaved Roads
    \nRamps
    \nService Roads<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Clear and consistent layer names look more professional and make it easier for people to understand your map.<\/p>\n

    6. Ensure that field names and values are clear and consistent<\/h2>\n

    All of the advice above applies to field names and values too: make them free of codes and jargon, unambiguous to someone unfamiliar with the data, and format them consistently.<\/p>\n

    Original field names and values:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    ROAD_NAME<\/strong><\/td>\nNB_Lanes<\/strong><\/td>\nsurface<\/strong><\/td>\nDistance<\/strong><\/td>\nPR<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Clarence_Rd<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n12.000<\/td>\nNS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Improved field names and values:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Name<\/strong><\/td>\nNumber of Lanes<\/strong><\/td>\nSurface<\/strong><\/td>\nDistance (km)<\/strong><\/td>\nProvince<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Clarence Rd<\/td>\n1<\/td>\nPaved<\/td>\n12.0<\/td>\nNova Scotia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    \u25b7 To change how fields are displayed in pop-ups, in the Fields<\/strong> pane, select a layer. In the Formatting<\/strong> window, change the Display name<\/strong>.
