Before you use this map you will need to create an account on ArcGIS.com and then publish your own feature services. Publishing your own services will facilitate editing for the layers: Age of Ocean, Plate Boundaries, and Continents. Other non-editible layers and tools are provided by Lehigh University.
1. If you do not already have an account you must create an account on ArcGIS.com
2. Download the templates for the mxd and gdb that you can to publish your feature services. The templates contant empty feature classes with the fields and domains that are requried by our viewer.
3. Open the .mxd file in ArcMap and Publish the mxd to a feature service. Note: You must enable editing on the feature service for it to work properly with our map. You can use ArcGIS.com or your ArcGIS Server.
