What Kind of Story Do You Want to Tell?

A. Sequential, Place-based Narratives

 1.    Story Map Tour℠

This app presents a sequential, place-based narrative in the form of a series of geotagged photos and captions linked to an interactive map. It’s ideal for walking tours or for a series of locations you’d like users to follow in sequence.

2.      Story Map Journal℠

This app lets you create a compelling map-based narrative presented as a set of journal entries. It’s ideal for creating multimedia stories that combine text, maps, images, and video, especially when you have lots of text or a rich array of content.

 

B. Presenting a Series of Maps

1.      Story Map Series℠ – Tabbed Layout

The Tabbed layout presents a series of maps via a set of tabs. There’s an optional description panel for presenting text and other content associated with each map.

2.      Story Map Series℠ – Side Accordion Layout

The Side Accordion layout presents a series of maps, and accompanying text and other content for each map, in an expandable panel. Clicking a title selects the map and expands the panel to reveal the text.

3.      Story Map Series℠ – Bulleted Layout

The Bulleted layout presents a series of maps via numbered bullets, one per map. It’s a good choice when you have a large number of maps or locations to present. There’s an optional description panel for presenting text and other content associated with each map.

C. A Curated List of Points of Interest

 1.      Story Map Shortlist℠

This app lets you present a set of places organized into a set of tabs based on themes, for example, food, hotels, and attractions. As users navigate around the map, the tabs update to show them the places in the current map extent.
