ARMAP (The Arctic Research Mapping Application) is an interactive mapping and data service platform for Arctic research. It is designed to show the “who, what, where, and when” of U.S. Arctic science. It primarily serves funding agencies, logistics planners, researchers, students, and related organizations, helping users explore information on Arctic research projects, vessel routes, medical facilities, research infrastructure, and more.
At the core of the platform is the ARMAP Viewer, built on ArcGIS Enterprise and combined with a database management system and web services. Users can view research project locations on the map, along with project titles, funding agencies, funded programs, disciplines, PIs, and other information. They can also search by PI, institution, discipline, title, year, and other criteria. In addition to project locations, ARMAP provides the Research Cruise Viewer, which displays tracks of research vessels such as the Healy and Louis S. St-Laurent. Arctic Medical Facilities provides the locations, contact information, transportation accessibility, and levels of care for remote Arctic medical facilities. Map layers also include research stations, airports, place names, and more. Users can print or save maps and export project data for reports or presentations.
The main content does not show any SaaS plans, subscription pricing, or payment methods. ARMAP is a research information system funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, with funding covering 2006–2025. It also states that funding for the application suite ended on January 30, 2026. The tools will remain available in 2026 to support regional network activities, but they will no longer be maintained.
Its strengths are its very clearly defined vertical use case, integrating Arctic research projects, funding, vessel routes, medical facilities, and logistics-related layers, making it suitable for research coordination and field planning. Its REST Web Service and ADIwg metadata standard also provide a degree of interoperability. The drawbacks are equally clear: it is not commercial enterprise software, and it lacks plans, SLAs, permission systems, security and compliance documentation, and ongoing support. The official site also states that the data is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or fit for any particular purpose, and since maintenance has ended, its long-term reliability is limited.
ARMAP is suitable for Arctic researchers, project funding and management organizations, field logistics teams, academic researchers, and users who need to reference information on the distribution of Arctic research. It is not suitable for teams looking for a general-purpose GIS SaaS, an enterprise-grade mapping platform, or sustainable commercial support. Access from mainland China is not provided in the main content, so it is considered unknown.
