6. Going global with WFS
Hopefully, on the previous page you have clicked on the features in Tasmania and noticed that you got an attribute popup: WFS not only deliver coordinates, but also a full set of attributes which can be queried, but also used for rendering (eg colouring).
And, to make it clear that WFS coordinates as eg delivered via GeoJSON are 'global' geographic coordinates - you surely noticed this when looking at the GeoJSON text file - we display these on a globe (a scene in ArcGIS Online speak): use the vignette below to zoom out into a global perspective, and check if you again can get an attribute popup!
For your own exercise with accessing a WFS through the Boundless GeoServer use a different service (not Tasmania) and use another format (not GeoJSON) for import and visualisation in ArcGIS Online or another client software.
