Share a Map

The easiest way to share a map with others is to send the URL of the map you are working with so that they can open the same map in their browser. When you send a URL, the other person can also interact with the map and see all the layers and features that you can see. When you share a map, the following data is visible:

• The current map extent.
• The current visible layers.
• The State of the toolbar (open/closed).
• The state of the information panel (open/closed).
• The state of the overview map (open/closed).

To share a map by sending a URL:

1. Click the I Want To menu and select Share current map .

   The Share Current Map dialog box opens with the URL to the current map highlighted.

4. Press Ctrl+V on your keyboard or use the Paste button in the application to paste the URL into the email.

   You can now send the URL as part of the email message.
