Share Map Views

NOTE: This feature is currently disabled as we build the Issue Maps feature but will turned back on.

Alerts lets you share your current map view in two ways:

A JPG image that is downloaded to your PC.
A URL that can be used in another browser to bring up the same map view.

Position your map with the alerts, annotations and basemap/satellite image you want to show.
Click the share icon to bring up these share options.

NOTE: If you created a new AOI but have not added it to your list yet, the share icon will not be available. Click Add this AOI to my List on the My Alerts tab to enable the share icon.

Copy URL to Clipboard will take the long URL shown in gray and copy it to your clipboard. You can then paste it into an email, social media, etc.

Download image of map will create and download a JPG image file to your computer.

There are a few known issues with map sharing:

Browsers are configured with different screen sizes, resolutions and ratios. This means sharing a URL may create slightly different views in different browsers.
The JPG image looks complete with the exception of Map Clustering, which does not evaluate correctly.
