About ArcGIS

 

Main Description

ArcGIS is a location-based analytics platform that provides tools for mapping, spatial reasoning, and data analysis.

 

Features

ArcGIS mapping software allows for the integration of outside data. ArcGIS comes with Smart Mapping for user-friendly options for classification, colors, style, and more. The collection of base maps include:
  • Satellite imagery maps
  • Street maps
  • Land or Ocean maps
  • Customizable maps

The interactive maps on ArcGIS make data easier to understand and adjust. They can help make predictions, reveal relationships between data, and uncover deviations. Joining data from multiple places and adding a locational element to data allows for the creation of comprehensive maps. With ArcGIS you can:

  • Calculate the number of people impacted by an event.
  • Gather information about places of interest.
  • Identify best routes of travel under different circumstances.

The collaborative environment on ArcGIS allows for smooth and efficient group work. Make access public, restrict it to only a few people, or keep it completely private. ArcGIS allows you to:

  • Embed maps on websites or social media.
  • Share maps on multiple apps.
  • Create and share apps for mapping and analysis.
