"GIS is not just about making maps". This map shows an elevation raster image using the stretched symbology. Again, trying to remember various steps from the prior week's lab was a challenge.
"GIS is not just about making maps". In this map ArcGIS was used to show central Mexico states with a population of over 1 million. An inset map was used to show the location of central Mexico in relation to the surrounding areas. Trying to remember various steps from the prior week's lab was a challenge.
"GIS is not just about making maps". In this map ArcGIS was used to show population density in the Mexico states. The symbology used is graduated colors scheme with 6 classes. Trying to remember various steps from the prior week's lab was a challenge.
I enjoyed this lab. It showed how powerful ArcMap is. I know there is a lot more this software package can do. I did not have any problems with the lab because the step-by-step instructions were clear and easy to understand.
In this exercise I used ArcMap to find a suitable location for a new youth center. This exercise went much smoother than the first one (Planning a Trip to San Diego) due to familiarity with the layout of ArcMap. I am getting more familiar with the toolbar and layout menus. Persistent practicing with ArcMap will be vital in learning GIS.
I enjoyed exploring ArcGIS for the first. ESRI does a good job explaining every step, in addition to showing the snapshots of what your results should look like. Finding the correct tools on the ArcMap tool bar was a challenge. I wouldn't call a pitfall, but instead call it a learning curve.
