  • Map Zoom: Select a zoom level of the map. The value must be within 1-23.
  • Map Navigation: Enable or disable the static map and search bar within the map. When static map is disabled, respondents cannot move the location of the map. When the search bar is disabled, respondents cannot search for an address or place.

Data Analysis

Data from your ArcGIS Map questions will be in the following format:

{"geometryType":"point","geometry":[{"x": <point-here>,"y":<point-here>}]}

To use this data in ArcGIS, you need to set up an Update ArcGIS Task within the Workflows tab of your survey. See the Update ArcGIS Task support page for more information.
