Looking for a tool to create a map? Share geographic data online? Develop a map-based website? Perform spatial analysis? Geocode addresses? If so, give ArcGIS Online a try.
UC Berkeley students, faculty, staff and affiliates with an active Calnet ID have access to the universities ArcGIS Online enterprise account. You can access this account directly by going to cal.maps.arcgis.com. For full functionality at no cost be sure to sign in using UC Berkeley CALNET. If you have an Arcgis Online account do not use it as this will not provide you with the benefits of the UCB enterprise account (free stuff).

UCB folks who use their calnet id to access the Esri World Geocoding service or ArcGIS online have an Esri credit limit of 5,000 credits/year. These credits are consumed by web mapping, spatial analysis, geocoding and other uses of Esri online services. You can request more credits from your department's ESRI system administrator if you hit your limit, but you will likely have more than you need.
