Hey GIS mapping friends. I was a StoryMaps user for years for blogs, but the platform went away and I can't migrate to ArcGIS because I use a Chromebook (it's all I need).

At the risk of tooting my own horn, GISsurfer has lots of features that are not apparent just by looking at the map. For both video and PDF tutorials see:
