Why sync maps?<\/h2>\n

To compare two maps of the same place. Digital maps often have a user interface that allows two or more maps to share the screen and interact. Creative examples of comparison apps include the Boston Public Library’s Atlascope<\/a>, which lets you view historic urban atlases next to modern road maps, and Esri’s Sentinel-2 Land Cover Explorer<\/a>, which lets you view land cover changes over time using a swipe tool.<\/p>\n

Experience Builder includes customizable widgets that you can use to make an app for comparing two maps. The Map widget<\/a> allows you to synchronize its extent changes with another Map widget, meaning that if the user zooms or pans one map the other will follow to that same extent.<\/p>\n

To synchronize two Map widgets, add the Extent changes<\/strong> trigger in the Action<\/strong> tab of a Map widget’s settings. Select another map as the target, then add either the Zoom to<\/strong> or Pan to<\/strong> action, or both. Do this for both maps, making each target the other.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2058502,"id":2058502,"title":"add-actions","filename":"add-actions-1.png","filesize":58251,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/experience-builder\/announcements\/synchronized-maps\/add-actions-2","alt":"Screenshot of the Map widget's Action settings.","author":"289852","description":"","caption":"Sync two maps with the Pan to and Zoom to actions.","name":"add-actions-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2028742,"date":"2023-08-21 20:42:09","modified":"2023-08-21 20:42:34","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":651,"height":565,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","medium-width":301,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","medium_large-width":651,"medium_large-height":565,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","large-width":651,"large-height":565,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","1536x1536-width":651,"1536x1536-height":565,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","2048x2048-width":651,"2048x2048-height":565,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1-536x465.png","card_image-width":536,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/08\/add-actions-1.png","wide_image-width":651,"wide_image-height":565}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
