LocalMaps 2.2 & RAMM Integration
LocalMap’s 2.2 is out! This release brings in some great new features and enhancements including all new RAMM Integrations capabilities. We have also taken the time to address some pesky bugs lurking around! Have a read below for some of our Top new features in 2.2.
See Confluence for Full 2.2 Release Notes
RAMM Integration
Perhaps one of the most anticipated features of 2.2 is the powerful new RAMM Integration module. This capability offers administrators the ability to create RAMM hosted feature layers that sit in your ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS Organisation.
By simply inputting an existing RAMM Service URL you have the option to then define specific attributes to pull through and change alias fields to make a more readable output for users. You can then synchronize your layer to bring in any adds, deletes or updates on a scheduled basis.
Although the RAMM Layer is created through LocalMaps, its usage can go well beyond just the LocalMaps application. Accessible to the entire ArcGIS Platform, the RAMM layer then be consumed in any web map, in ArcGIS Pro or in web applications like this Operations Dashboard of RAMM forward works data and projects.

Note: RAMM Integration is a paid for LocalMaps Premium Module. Please inquire with your account manager for pricing or email sales@eagle.co.nz for more information.
Viewer
We have brought in some great enhancements to the LocalMaps Viewer and widgets such as…
NEW Print Preview Window:
Know exactly what you are getting when you generate a print now with the Print preview window.
Note: this feature requires a Print Layout URL set in the admin configuration.
Draw / Measure Enhancements:
Continuous draw mode & Buffer drawing
We love to hear your feedback on the LocalMaps tools! We had a number of folk request these two enhancements to the Draw / Measure tool. Enjoy a new uninterrupted drawing experience if you need to use the same tool in succession. The continuous drawing mode saves you having to actively turn on the draw tool each time you need to add a new graphic! Optionally, you can now also add a set buffer distance to your graphics. We have also really focused on addressing some niggly usability bugs in this version too – we hope you like the results!
