In earlier posts, we provided information on how to enable public access to ArcGIS Online premium content such as routing and traffic maps<\/a> and other live feeds<\/a>. This workflow for sharing works well with most ArcGIS Online premium content (such as Landsat 8 and NAIP imagery, various landscape analysis layers, and historical maps), but it is not a solution for our demographic maps, which have all of the map rendering properties built into the map layers and not the underlying services. However, there is now a workflow available that will let you include demographic map layers in your public maps and apps!<\/p>\n

Perhaps you would like to include a demographic map layer as part of a map that you publish on your public facing website, without requiring the end users of the map to have their own ArcGIS account. You can create a map that references the demographic map layer using your ArcGIS account. Keep in mind that demographic maps do consume credits so your account will consume credits<\/a> for the maps that are requested. However, the credit cost of using these maps is small so you can support thousands of map requests for only a few dollars in credit fees. Below is an example of a demographic map that is set up for public access on a website, this blog.<\/p>\n

Let’s review how this map was created and shared. There are four main steps to create and share demographic maps with the public.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a map layer with your stored credentials and share with everyone<\/li>\n
  2. Create a web map using a demographic map layer that you can update<\/li>\n
  3. Update the URL for the demographic map layer to use URL for your layer and share map with everyone<\/li>\n
  4. Use the web map in your website or application<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sounds simple, right? Well, there is a bit more involved so let’s go through the details for each step.<\/p>\n

    1. Create a map layer with your stored credentials and share with everyone<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    You will first need to create a new map layer with your stored credentials and share with everyone. Here are the specific steps:<\/p>\n
