You can add columns and new entries right away. The data is stored in a spatially enhanced table.

Additionally it also consumes kmz/kml files. Now you need to understand that “connect Dataset” means to upload one… But this is easy and you can select from different sources like google spreadsheets, dropbox or twitter… And cartodb seems intelligent and does not care whether you use comma or the dot as decimal separator. As we know what we want to do, I choose Create New Map. You can also use some video tutorials that are displayed after pressing “new Map” to get an easy introduction to the mapping platform.

Map export from ArcGIS online as image CartoDBĬartoDB (founded in 2011) is a portal with two main features: a table and a map.Īfter the simple registration with name and email address you will have the possibility to take an english tour.

It is not easy to see a price tag for this but you can do the math: license is 500$ per year per user for a minimum of five users.Ī nice possibility to work with is the presentation mode to quickly change between mapping frames and different content.

Wait! You said trial account? ArcGIS online requires a subscription plan. After altering the csv and replacing comma by points I was in line with the basemap… ArcGIS online does not care about your decimal separator and rounds coordinates by default. Unfortunately the positions were shifted against the basemap and were not in line with it in the end. Now you can see the city file below as well.Īdditionally ArcGIS online does not support kmz files out of the box (see comments below) and I haven’t found any data especially for Iraq.īut I found an administrative boundaries data layer which I added. Only the basemap was presented first hand. It seemed like it took about 20min to migrate the added layer into the databases of our friends at Redland.

After choosing “Share” I was presented with an iframe code to embed (see the map below) but I haven’t managed to see my cities right away.

This was not straightforward especially not for the layer. First I needed to check my layers and maps to be sharable with “everyone”. After this it went quite smooth: Pressed “New Map”, click on “add+”, choose my csv file and 1-2-3 I got my map with a selectable basemap, my cities with labels and population-proportional circles (easy due to interaction menu on the layer in content and “change style” sidenote: Fancy heatmaps are available to!).īut now comes the tricky part: sharing it on an own website. Unfortunately does not tell you to use only letters and numbers in passwords (is this 1998?) so it took me a while to register for my 60 day trial period. It is developed by ESRI, located in Redlands US, (might be of interest if you plan to host more interesting data regarding so-called states of the “Axis of evil” -))Īfter registration with an email address I was asked to create an account and an organization.

We don’t care if we cover everything and it is just our personal opinion.ĪrcGIS Online ArcGIS online is the web version of the well established ArcGIS software stack. Many of the “analyzed” platforms have much more functionality as we need. As some mappers don’t have coordinates we will check geocoding possibilities as well.Īttention: This is not a professional, in-depth analysis of current webmapping platforms. We will try to export the map as an image and try to embed into our blog post as an interactive map. The geo-aware people will probably download the same data from Natural Earth Data as shapefiles but a csv file and the work with Google Earth resulting in a kmz/kml file is quite common in the non-GIS world. coordinates) and a kmz from Google Earth where we “digitized” provinces. The “crucial” part: We only have a csv file with city names and attributes (incl. We would like to have cities represented in size of population and the provinces and cities should have labels as well. We aim to create a map of provinces and cities in Iraq. Prior our short “overview” let’s explain the setting. If you don’t want to struggle with a desktop mapping software or you “just want to create a map” for your publication, business data, website or professional service the following online mapping solutions might be the one-stop-shop for your needs. Working with a desktop GIS might be a good choice for geodata-experts, GIS-people in general and everyone who is inside the fields of geosciences.
