Chapter 1
- It is important to have a base map so that way it can help orient the users location.Â
- When working with layers you can see what order the features are draw in by going to the contents pane.Â
- To be able to look at attributes you can look at attribute tables.Â
- When using GIS you need to be able to do symbolizing which can help organize different features on the map.Â
Chapter 2
- Some different graphic elements that are important on maps are lines. Shaded areas, symbols and text.
- You can shade text to prioritize different letters or numbers.Â
- A choropleth map uses colors in polygons to represent number values since it is hard for the human eye to distinguish small changes in graphic elements.
- Dot density maps usually display a total number randomly across a statistical unit.Â
- When looking at features on a map you can turn different feature layers off and on using visibility ranges.
Chapter 3
-When you start a layout it starts out blank so you can add one or two maps.
 -When adding maps you can use guide lines to line up the map(s), titles, and keys/legend.
– You can also use layouts that can be exported to show people who do not use Gis and to use in other software if needed.Â
– You can also view the same maps on different devices.Â
