The Event Locator application consumes maps that are accessible to the general public and named users in your ArcGIS Online organization. Create an event locator map and share it with the general public interested in event and activity information. Citizens and other interested parties can then access the Event Locator application on smartphones, desktop computers, or tablet devices.
