Fox – Week 4

This week, I read chapters 1,2, and 3 of the GIS tutorial book and made some maps!

Chapter 1: This was my first dive into making these maps, and I will say it did take me a second to figure everything out. But the book did do a really good job of giving good directions on what to click and when, along with providing pictures so we know if we’re on track. 

Chapter 2: In this chapter, I made maps of just an area, looking at certain characteristics. This map did take me a little bit longer to figure out, just because of all the different colors and details the book was having us add, which led me to get a little confused at times. Although I did realize how easy the map was to read once I got all the colors and layers onto the map. 

Chapter 3: I think that sharing maps online is a very good thing and much easier than I had thought it would be. I appreciate that I was able to get ARCGIS right onto my personal computer, which made the process and the entirety of this week’s work a lot easier and more convenient. Overall, the processes of making all these maps is a lot easier than I had originally anticipated.
