yes madam,

if I'm not logged in DIY geo-apps ,I can't see the app

see the link:

https://diygeoapps2.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=4df06614a1b448eb9836632c22dd7ac7

why? all layer are public and shared with everyone

regards

[JohnGravois]

besides the layers, are you sure the app itself has been shared with everyone?

[CatherineSchenck-Yglesias1]

Roberto, thanks for sharing.  At present, it looks like a travelogue in purpose in that you are recording the natural beauty as you see it in those surroundings.  If you want it to become something a plant scientist or even a user of nature stock photography would browse or search, then additional content and search filters on plant name (genus, species) and other attributes would be useful.

[RobertoTantari]

Thanks madam,

when I have time I'll enhance my story with scientific names that I already Know...like "Lepiota Procera" for the mushroom shaped like umbrella and together with beech trees, stratified layers of cretaceus limestone ecc.

I would point out that decimal degrees coordinates (latitude and longitude) of photos are right

regards

Hi Roberto the issue where people get prompted to sign in when they launch your publicly shared Story Map Tour via the URL you posted is that the web map you are using in your Map Tour contains some additional layers that require an ArcGIS Online subscription for people to access outside of your organization.  In this situation go to My Stories https://storymaps.arcgis.com/en/my-stories/ and look for your Story Map Tour. You should get a message that you need to confirm that you want your readers to be able to access those subscription only services. For more info see the Story Maps section in this blog post: Using Living Atlas subscriber content in public maps and apps

Hello - I am using my organizational account to complete the GeoApps MOOC. I am an admin. I can share items with the public, or my own organization. How can I share, or be added to the " Do-It-Yourself Geo Apps organization."?

[Anonymous User]

Hi Lisa, you don't have to share your apps for the guided parts of the exercises, only the DIY parts. For those, you just need to share to the public and everyone, whether they're in the class org or not, will be able to see it. Thanks!

[LisaCasey]

Thank you!

[JohnGravois]

We're not actually curating content using groups like we have in the past. we could add you if we knew your username, but it wouldn't actually be too helpful.

Hey!
I'm Vaibhav, a graduate with Bachelors degree in Commerce (i.e Accounting/ Business Laws/ Taxation) from University of Delhi, India. Unlike my field of study, I've developed

interest in geospatial analysis/ location intelligence and for past 1 year I've have been trying to learn more about the skill sets required for this field by going through articles, interacting with people and learning through online courses from sites like Coursera, Udemy etc.
I was wondering if you can suggest some online programs/ distance learning masters/ diploma courses that can help me boost my career (I'm not able to land jobs since I don't have any degree related to GIS field)
Also, I got to know about the MBA in Location Analytics offered by University of Redlands (again that is a distance learning course) will it be helpful for a fresh undergrad student without any full-time work experience?
Thanks
