iShare Spotlight is an application that allows a GIS user to configure an interactive map, with layers of your GIS data and publish it in an iFrame embedded in your website or webform. Spotlight is derived from our ol-ishare library of tools and resources.
Spotlight uses your iShare ADS Base Mapping and existing My Maps 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 web site administrator or web developer can easily, (without coding) publish a map onto a web page, with the option to include: Map Navigation Controls, Address / Location search box, Layer controls and Annotations. Please see Configuring iShare Spotlight for details.
For details on how a user would use a Spotlight map please see Using iShare Spotlight.
