OpenSeaMap Seamarks in GIS Map

If Esri (or anyone else publishing on the ArcGIS platform) does not provide a basemap with the extra information available in OpenSeaMap, then I think it cannot be done within GIS Map.

I suggest you ask in some Esri/ArcGIS forum if there is a way to get a basemap like that.

Dear all,

meanwhile we run our own GIS Server with a mySQL Database in the background. We load our data via QGIS into the database.

We have managed to get various layer (points, polygons) into IFS Cloud GIS Map.

But on new maps we are still working on.

Did you import the data from your GIS to Esri or did you manage to expose the layer from your GIS as an Esri/ArcGIS feature layer?

Dear Mathias,

for our own data everything withOUT Esri!

The maps are still coming from Esri, but we want to overcome this as well.

Dataflow is 

• Import in QGIS
• transfer from QGIS to my SQL (PostGRE)
• Database connection to GeoServer (provider for IFS Cloud instead of ESRI)
• GeoServer provides Layer to IFS
• Layers  are selectable in right box of the GIS Map Window

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you can save some money not using Esri 🙂 However, it also means more work on your part and, to be frank, I don't see us adding direct support for any other "advanced GIS" other than Esri anytime soon. It's quite a bit of work supporting one GIS vendor as it is…

Dear Mathias,

it’s not only saving money. The more important thing for us is, we are not forced to put customer data on the internet. Data privacy is the driver for our approach. We keep the customer data in our environment !

Good point!

I obviously don't work for Esri 🙂 but did you consider their ArcGIS Enterprise (server) that you can host on-premise? IFS Cloud GIS Integration supports both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. You can even mix and match.
