Most stories created with ArcGIS StoryMaps emphasize <em>expository <\/em>mapping \u2014 guiding readers toward specific insights \u2014 rather than open-ended exploration. Map choreography is one of the most effective ways to do this well.<\/p>\n<p>The sidecar block is particularly well-suited for map choreography. This immersive block pairs a fixed-position media panel with a scrolling narrative panel, forming a sequence of slides. As readers navigate between slides, both panels update according to the author\u2019s intent. This structure invites authors to craft logical \u2014 and even cinematic \u2014 progressions of related map views, each accompanied by narrative context. This is map choreography in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Map choreography typically involves adjusting three key elements of a given map (or maps):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Focal area (zoom level, center point, and sometimes rotation)<\/li>\n<li>Layer visibility (which thematic layers are shown at any given time)<\/li>\n<li>Behavior (interactivity, widget visibility, and other interface elements).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By varying these elements from one slide to the next, you can guide readers through a sequence of ideas with clarity and intent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use-cases\"><strong>Map choreography in action: common use cases<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Compare thematic layers within a given geography: <\/strong>One common use case for map choreography is highlighting multiple thematic layers within a single geographic area. As readers navigate through the sequence, they can compare related rates, trends, or patterns while the geographic frame remains consistent. By displaying different temporal layers, you can also use map choreography to recount events or show change over time.
