The Viewing Environment
Why Resi Metrics Uses ArcGIS Earth
ArcGIS Earth gives real estate practitioners a free, highly capable environment for exploring sophisticated geospatial work without requiring traditional subscription-based desktop GIS production software. Open a delivered Resi Metrics Mobile Map Package, work through prepared layers and sublayers, inspect formatted information, and add more context when your review calls for it.
Why Resi Metrics Uses ArcGIS Earth
Ready for the delivered package
Open the delivered Resi Metrics Mobile Map Package locally and begin reviewing the prepared map. The core workflow does not depend on an ArcGIS Online account or subscription.
Approachable review workflow
Navigate the map, turn prepared layers and sublayers on or off, and click mapped features to review formatted information. The principal workflow does not require GIS authoring experience.
44 basemap choices
The current ArcGIS Earth setup provides 44 basemap choices, allowing users to move among imagery, street, reference, and simplified backgrounds to suit the review at hand.
Basemaps change the map background, not the delivered Resi Metrics layers. The exact gallery may vary by version, portal, or configuration.Add authoritative online context
Search public ArcGIS Online layers and explore publicly available ArcGIS Living Atlas content when additional context is useful. Living Atlas can provide Census, housing, imagery, environmental, infrastructure, and governmental-boundary information.
Online resources depend on connectivity, source availability, and any applicable sign-in or access requirements.Go deeper with your own data
Users who want to explore further can add supported GIS files and services alongside the Resi Metrics package, including KML/KMZ, shapefiles, GeoJSON, rasters, GeoPackages, 3D Tiles, map packages, and web services.
What Resi Metrics Prepares for You
Curated, formatted, and ready to explore.
Resi Metrics does the GIS preparation before delivery. Each Mobile Map Package carries a curated layer hierarchy, prepared sublayers and review views, deliberate symbology, scale-dependent display, and formatted popups—so you can focus on the property, program, policy, or due-diligence question instead of building the map from raw inputs.
Prepared layer structure
Organized groups and ready-to-select sublayers make it easier to find and understand the subject you need.
Formatted information & popups
Selected fields, plain-language labels, and relevant source details are surfaced directly in the map for practical review.
Desktop Workflow
A simple 3-step desktop workflow.
Open the MMPK
Use Add Files to browse to the delivered Mobile Map Package and open it locally in ArcGIS Earth.
Navigate prepared layers
Browse the curated layer hierarchy and turn the prepared topic and sublayers relevant to your review on or off.
Review mapped details
Click a visible feature to open its formatted popup and review the selected site, program, and location information.
Mobile Works Too
Take your maps anywhere.
ArcGIS Earth is available on iOS and Android. On iPhone, the same delivered Resi Metrics MMPK can be made available through the Files workflow, opened in ArcGIS Earth, and reviewed away from the desktop. Move through prepared layers and sublayers while keeping the map and site context close at hand.
Get ArcGIS Earth
Download ArcGIS Earth for iPhone through the App Store, or access ArcGIS Earth for Android through Google Play.
Curated layers on mobile
Move through the same prepared layer hierarchy in a mobile interface suited to a smaller screen.
Explore and inspect
Pan the map, move into prepared sublayers, and keep mapped conditions in view while reviewing the site context.
Easy to deploy. Capable enough to grow with you.
Resi Metrics prepares the mapping workspace. ArcGIS Earth gives you an approachable way to explore it—from desktop or mobile.
