Making Maps Online
ArcGIS Online provides a method for visualizing and presenting geospatial data. The web-based platform does not require installation and is compatible with both Mac and Windows.
For training or questions on how to use the platform for your project, contact the IT Helpdesk for a consultation. A course is not required to use the application - ArcGIS Online is available to all St. Olaf staff, students, and faculty.
