Premium ArcGIS Online Content

There are six premium content packages included in UW-Milwaukee’s ArcGIS Online subscription. These include:

  • Geocoding,
  • Network Analysis,
  • Spatial Analysis,
  • GeoEnrichment,
  • Demographics, and
  • Elevation Analysis.

Premium ArcGIS content consumes a large amount of credits but is quite reasonable when working with small data sets. We recommend that if you are doing heavy processing with lots of data, do so offline with ArcGIS Desktop and then upload your content to ArcGIS Online.
