Generating simple web maps with Spotlight
There are many benefits to enabling residents and businesses to self-serve critical information via web maps, such as:
- Improving the customer experience
- Reducing the cost of customer contact
- Freeing up call centre advisors for more meaningful conversations
Our Spotlight web map generator makes it easy to produce and publish consistently-styled web maps like the example from Dudley MBC above.
We recently held a webinar taking a closer look at Spotlight, including:
- How to identify suitable topics and locations
- What 'live' Spotlight maps look like
- How to create Spotlight maps
A copy of the recording will be made available after Easter 2025 via our newsletter.
What is Spotlight?
Spotlight, a free add-on to iShare in the Cloud, enables non-GIS users to create web maps that bring your website to life.
What types of maps can you create with Spotlight?
Spotlight can be used to create single-topic maps, such as CCTV locations, gritting routes, air quality and parking. These can be embedded across your website to improve the user experience.
Can Spotlight be used to create maps for print?
Yes.
Will the webinar be recorded?
Yes. We'll send the recording to anyone who registered, even if they can't make it on the day.
Who is the webinar suitable for?
Anyone who has an interest in sharing information with the public, such as GIS teams, contact centre managers and web teams.
