Shaded Relief Maps
Looking for a unique gift for someone who loves maps? Check out these shaded relief maps. They are flat 2D maps, but really look like they are jumping off the page in 3D. My guess the bigger the map you get, the better 3D effect on your eyes! Check it out.

Living Atlas connects users with demographic data layers, apps related to populations impacted by natural disasters or current events, and a selection of models and features to solve the world’s most-critical problems.

What is Arcade?
When I hear the word Arcade, I think of the days playing games like Pac-Man, Frogger, and Donkey Kong. However, this Arcade is used to customize ArcGIS apps.
ArcGIS Arcade was first developed to be a calculator. It allows you to compute values derived from attributes in a layer. The result can be used in popups, labels and in renderers. Also the Arcade scripts work throughout the ArcGIS system. In the latest versions of Arcade, you can use it to customize popup content and define conditional behavior in forms and dashboard elements based on user input.
Click below to read more about Arcade and what you can do with it in your ArcGIS apps.
