GIS Open Discussion

john mcgregor - Thank you for your participation and valued feedback. It is great to hear that you find APAN and our GIS capabilities useful for you and your mission partners. If there is more we can do to support please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Our team works closely with planners to prepare for and support exercises on a regular basis and we can help determine how to utilize APAN based on best practices and lessons learned.

Also, I wanted to get a better understanding about the GeoNames search capability that you mentioned and referred to. What in particular about it do you find beneficial that could be brought into APAN?

Wondering if anyone has found a way to print high-resolution maps from the APAN ArcGIS Online portal? The best I am able to print is ~1MB .png files from the 'Print' context menu from within the Map Viewer. I am trying to convince my colleagues that interaction with the live map is the best way to share the information, but some users insist on having large-format prints to conduct their analysis. Thanks!

Andrew Champion I see you found the Web AppBuilder's capability to print. Will this suffice or do you require something that will provide a higher level of detail?

What DPI are you looking to print?

Hi Ryan! I'm not quite sure what options there are, but I'd definitely be interested if there is a way to get higher resolution. There is an NGO in our area who has been printing A0/A1 sized products from their ArcGIS Pro desktop software. We have our own plotters, but I can't get the resolution needed to make it readable. Thanks for looking into this for us!

Recommend getting with that NGO and see what settings they are using. We can go pretty detailed but if anything more than what we can handle at the moment the file could get pretty large and run the risk of stalling during the build process.

Thanks very much Ryan. You led me to the Web AppBuilder print feature - the advanced options therein are exactly what I was looking for. I was previously using the default print options from a standard Web Map.
