The example story linked above also explores placing legend information and context within the narrative panels in the map tour, though this may be a more helpful technique for maps that are thematically changing with each slide.

I know you mentioned adding the legend right before the map tour isn't ideal for the scrolling nature of the tour. I'd also recommend giving Kudos and commenting on the existing ArcGIS StoryMaps idea to request this functionality be considered for future releases.

Thanks for the reply.

Short answer: I'm out of luck for now.

Although it seems like an extremely easy thing to do on ESRI's end, I'm sure it is more complicated than that. Thanks for linking that idea post, hopefully it can gain some more traction. In the meantime I'll consider one of the two suggestions and hope they are sufficient.

Just a short walk from campus, you have access to more than 3,000 feet of unspoiled beach on the Puget Sound. Bring waterproof boots and wade offshore, comb the beach for shells and clams, or sit and watch for seals. You can even hit the water in a kayak rented from the campus Recreation Center via The Outdoor Program. At night, you can see small bioluminescent creatures glowing in the water or join the Shellfish Club for one of their midnight meetings. Bring a flashlight and watch out for jellyfish!

Visitors have an opportunity to experience Evergreen's Organic Farm Stand in action. Stop on by to purchase fresh seasonal produce, flowers, fruit, plants and more during the growing season from 3-6 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays from April until the first week of November. On all other tour days, the Organic Farm is open to visitors via a walking path near the center of campus or by car (directions). Your tour guide can walk with you or direct you.

Students in a Geographic Information Systems course created maps of the Olympia Campus and trails. Each map highlights slightly different features, so find the one that works for your adventurous spirit.

If you're in the Olympia area and want to explore Evergreen's Olympia campus on your own, our campus is always open to the public. Grab a printed self-guided tour booklet outside of Admissions on the bottom floor of Evans Hall.

Our tour guide, Phoenix, was very knowledgeable, had a good wit, and shared many, many nuggets of information that made the trip interesting and full of energy. Even when we asked about other points of interest we thought he might know about he was able provide name and an interesting nugget about it. He met children\u2019s interests as well as adults. Will definitely tell others about your service and have them look for Phoenix. Thank you all.

Today, we did the last tour of the day with Scribe as our tour guide and he was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, extremely affable and made us feel like family. My husband said it was money well spent and made our trip! Such an asset to your company! Thanks for your service today, Scribe.

I\u2019m grateful for the hop on/off tours; without them my aging parents would have struggled to see Boston; and they loved hearing the history. Perfect segue: We had several different guides\u2026 Book was far/away our favorite. Good storyteller, quick wit, quite helpful. Interesting guy\u2026 But seriously, really enjoyed his tour.

My friends, husband and I were on the Trolley with Billy last week and had the BEST tour! Having been an American History teacher for 30 years, I was truly fascinated with Billy\u2019s knowledge and experience with the tour! Even my friends who are not especially interested in History, thought that Billy was the greatest tour guide they had ever had.

This was a great way to see the city. The two tour guides were both friendly and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anybody visiting Boston. I even dazzled my friends later in the week with all that I knew of the city. Thanks for an awesome visit!!!

We rode with two drivers today, Miss Jackson and Crafty. They are both PHENOMENAL. They made our trips around town outstanding and informative. Thank you so much for hiring the best! Make sure to compensate them above and beyond so that they continue to rep your company and the city of Boston so spectacularly!

This festival marketplace offers over 150 shops, restaurants, and merchant carts in the three buildings surrounding Faneuil Hall, North Market, Quincy Market, and South Market. Quincy Market, the center building, is a great gathering spot and place for lunch, with over 35 stands offering a global food selection. During the summer months, street performers often entertain the crowds around the marketplace. Jugglers, clowns, puppeteers, musicians, and magicians are just a few types of entertainers that can be seen on the cobblestone promenade.

The New England Aquarium, situated on the scenic Central Wharf, has more than a dozen exhibits that highlight hundreds of different species from around the world. Attracting 1.3 million visitors each year, the Boston Waterfront attraction recreates natural habitats ranging from reefs and tide pools to rocky shorelines. In addition to its exhibits, the aquarium offers Whale Watch excursions that take visitors 30 miles east of Boston to Stellwagen Bank where you can see whales, dolphins, sea birds and other marine life.

Launched in 1797, the USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat. Crisscrossing the globe, this three-masted frigate participated in the Barbary War off the coast of North Africa and sailed the Caribbean in search of pirates. She earned her nom de guerre Old Ironsides during the War of 1812 when enemy cannonballs bounced off her resilient wooden hull. Docked in the Charlestown Navy Yard, the famous ship is a floating museum open to public. It is also a stop on the on the Freedom Trail and the Old Town Trolley.

TD Garden is the home arena for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League and Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association. TD Garden is owned by Delaware North, whose CEO, Jeremy Jacobs, also owns the Bruins. It is the site of the annual Beanpot college hockey tournament, and hosts the annual Hockey East Championships.

The Sports Museum is located on the 5th and 6th floors of the TD Garden. This Boston attraction features exhibits organized by sport, including hockey (Boston Bruins, Hartford Whalers, and Olympics), basketball (Boston Celtics), football (New England Patriots), and baseball (Boston Red Sox). Concourse galleries also feature boxing, rugby, soccer and artifacts from the Boston Marathon.

On March 5, 1770, the tension from the British military occupation of Boston escalated into the event now referred to as the Boston Massacre. There was heavy military presence in downtown Boston in order to maintain control over civilians and to enforce the Townshend Act. Various brawls between soldiers and civilians had taken place; but the evening of March 5th was the first to result in civilian deaths. Today the site of the massacre is marked by a cobblestone ring on the traffic island at the intersection of Devonshire and State Streets.

The Old South Meeting House was the largest building in colonial Boston and stands today as a symbol of the right to free speech and free assembly. The most well known meeting that took place here was held by the Sons of Liberty on December 16, 1773. The discussion in protest of the British tax on tea led directly to the Boston Tea Party, which took place later that very evening. 5,000 colonists gathered in the Old South Meeting House that day, an example of one of the larger crowds that could not have been accommodated by Faneuil Hall.

The Old State House, built in 1713 on the site of the first Town House, is the oldest surviving public building in Boston. The building served as a meeting place for the exchange of economic and local news and was said to be the center of politics in the colonies. The Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony on the east side of the building, and just below it is the spot where the Boston Massacre took place. The Old State House is one of the most important public buildings in the U.S.

The Old Corner Bookstore, located on the corner of School and Washington Streets, was built in 1718 as an apothecary shop and residence. During the 19th century, it housed the Ticknor and Fields Publishing House and later became the literary center of Boston. Authors such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau brought manuscripts here to be published. It is now known as the Globe Corner Bookstore and specializes in New England travel books and maps. Before the Old Corner Bookstore was built, the original building was the home of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, who was condemned for her dissent from Puritan orthodoxy.
