With ArcGIS Earth for mobile, you can create a tour with geotagged photos and placemarks, play them by sequence, record a video of the tour, and share it.
Get started
Create a tour with geotagged photos in your photo album or placemarks in your drawings list, showing what you have seen or where you have been along a trip on a 3D globe. Manage your tours in the Tours section, where you can edit, play, share, and delete them.
Create a tour
To create a tour, follow these steps:
- Tap the Toolbox button at the bottom of the screen and choose the Tour tool .
- ArcGIS Earth supports tour creation through the Select Placemark and Select Photo options. To add a placemark, choose an existing point or a geosearch location from your drawings list. To add a photo, choose an existing one from your album or take a new one. Photos without location information cannot be added to a tour. You can add up to 20 photos and placemarks for a tour.
- Tap Done to finish creating a tour.
Note:
This feature requires permission to access your device's camera and photos.
