Overview
iShare Spotlight allows a GIS user to upload, store, style and ultimately publish geographic data to the web embedded within an iFrame in a web page or web form.
Spotlight uses your iShare ADS Base Mapping and existing Map Source(s) so you have access to all your iShare Maps data, although you can only include one Map Source within a Spotlight map.
Using the Spotlight tools a GIS user can easily, (without coding) decide which functionality to include in the map such as, Map Navigation Controls, Address Search box, Layer controls etc. as well as allowing you to choose the map size and content.
When you are happy with your choices the Export Map button will publish a URL which you can share, embed into a web page, or put control in the hands of your web manager.
Spotlight is hosted by Astun Technology and uses Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), which is an HTTP-header based mechanism that allows a server to indicate any other origins (domain, scheme, or port) than its own from which a browser should permit loading of resources, to allow the Astun Cloud to talk to your Cloud.
Pointing Spotlight to your iShare instance
The first task is to enter your iShare URL in the box provided and click the UPDATE button. This will load your iShare Map Sources into the Map content section.
