Interpret Map
Send the current ArcGIS Pro view—screenshot plus simplified layer context—to a multimodal model for a quick written summary, checks against the data, and a suggested next step.
Usage
- Navigate the map to the extent and scale you want interpreted.
- Open Interpret Map.
- Decide whether to include the screenshot (recommended for models with vision support) and adjust feature sampling if needed.
- Run the tool and read the structured response in the messages pane.
