Apps

Story Map Tour℠

Present a set of photos or videos along with captions, linked to an interactive map. It's ideal for walking tours or any sequence of places you’d like users to follow in order.

Story Map Journal℠

Create an in-depth narrative organized into sections presented in a scrolling side panel. As users scroll through the sections in your Map Journal they see the content associated with each section, such as a map, 3D scene, image, video, etc.

Story Map Cascade℠

Create a visually and editorially engaging full-screen scrolling experience for your audience blending narrative text, maps, 3D scenes, images, videos, etc. Sections containing text and in-line media can be interspersed with "immersive" sections that fill the screen, including map animations and transition effects.

Story Map Series℠ - Tabbed Layout

Present a series of maps via a set of tabs. There's an optional description panel for presenting text and other content associated with each map.

Story Map Series℠ - Side Accordion Layout

Present a series of maps, and accompanying text and other content for each map, in an expandable panel. Clicking a title selects the map and expands the panel to reveal the text.

Story Map Series℠ - Bulleted Layout

Present a series of maps via numbered bullets, one map per bullet. It's a good choice when you have a large number of maps or locations to present. There's an optional description panel for presenting text and other content associated with each map.

Story Map Crowdsource℠ BETA

Publish and manage a crowdsourced story to which anyone can contribute photos with captions. Use Crowdsource to engage your audience and collect their photos and experiences, thoughts or memories on the subject of your choice, all linked to a map. A vetting function lets you review and approve contributions.

Story Map Shortlist℠ BETA

Present a large number of places organized into tabs based on themes, for example, food, hotels, and attractions. As your users navigate around the map, the tabs update to show them just the places in their current map extent.

Story Map Swipe℠

Let your users compare two separate web maps or two layers of a single map by sliding a swipe tool back and forth.

Story Map Spyglass℠

This app is similar to Swipe but enables your users to peer through one map to another with a spyglass tool.

Story Map Basic℠

Present a map via a very simple user interface. Apart from the title bar and an optional legend, the map fills the screen. Use this app to let your map speak for itself.

Custom story maps are developed for particular projects, and to help prototype designs that we can turn into new apps.
