The Bookmark widget stores a collection of map view extents (i.e spatial bookmarks) displayed in the viewer.

It also allows you to create and add your spatial bookmarks after the viewer is launched. In addition, if there are any existing bookmarks defined in the map (that were set in the map viewer in ArcGIS Online or Portal), you can use them in the viewer optionally.

Use the Bookmark widget

1. Click the widget to display predefined bookmarks.

2. Click one of the bookmark thumbnails to set the map extent to the bookmark area.

3. Create additional bookmarks by zooming to your desired location and clicking the Add button.

4. To name your bookmark, click on the text 'bookmark' and type out your desired name.

5. To change the thumbnail of your bookmark, hover over your bookmark and click the button on the bottom right, symbolised by two alternating horizontal arrows. Search for your desired image in the file explorer and click Open.

6. To delete a bookmark, hover over it and then click the delete button at the top right of the thumbnail.

7. Click the close button in the window to close the widget.

 

In the LocalMaps Viewer you cannot change the name, thumbnail or delete pre-configured bookmarks that have been created in the ArcGIS Online or Portal map viewer. Additionally, you cannot add thumbnails to bookmarks created in a version of LocalMaps prior to 2.2. To resolve this, we recommend recreating your bookmarks in version 2.2 or higher.
