Where In The World

A Walk Through WWII Map

This is a map that is designed to provide seven historic locations in Europe that define important moments during WWII. This map was created in ArcGIS Online along with excel spreadsheets. The excel spreadsheet contains six attributes or column headers and they consist of "Points of Interest", "latitude", "longitude", "location", "site_url", and "image_url". The latitude and longitude were attained from Google Maps after searching the site chosen. These attributes were then saved as a "CSV" file in order to be uploaded onto ArcGIS Online. The attributes appear on the pop up windows when a point of interest is selected and are also able to be edited to simplify map contents. This map is useful to users by providing points of interest with general information on the pop up windows including directions on how to reach the destination.
