ArcGIS Experience Builder and Mobile GIS are powerful tools within the ArcGIS suite, offering flexible and user-friendly solutions for creating and using geospatial content across various platforms. ArcGIS Experience Builder enables users to create web experiences with minimal coding by using drag-and-drop functionality and integrating widgets to interact with both 2D and 3D data. Users can start with templates or build from scratch, customizing layouts for mobile optimization, adding themes, and employing a range of widgets (e.g., maps, legends, charts, and survey tools) to enhance interactivity. The tool’s flexibility allows for integration with ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS API for JavaScript, making it adaptable for diverse mapping applications.
Mobile GIS, on the other hand, brings traditional GIS functionality to portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It offers easy access to geospatial data, real-time updates, and interactive mapping through apps like ArcGIS Field Maps, which supports field data collection and management. Mobile GIS leverages GPS, wireless communication, and mobile operating systems to allow users to track, capture, and update data on the go. However, smaller screens can limit visibility and detail compared to desktop versions. Together, ArcGIS Experience Builder and Mobile GIS can support a variety of applications, such as studying and monitoring gas leak patterns in Delaware County. This project could ensure the safety of residents by using interactive maps, data analysis tools, and additional data collection methods beyond traditional surveys.
I messed around with an interactive soil map where my locations where i sampled soil for my independent study were marked and had pop ups with the photos of different land use in the area.
