Most of the infomation was stuff I had begun to feel confident with, doing things with the creating locator, for example, went smoothly. When rematching attendees by zipcode on 8-2 I got a bit lost at a certain part where I had to click the match button for the zipcodes, for some reason it wouldn&#8217;t load for me.

I also thought the dissolve option was really neat, helping with overlapping buffer rings helps make it much better to look at.<\/p>\n<p>9-3 it estimates gravity models of geography, you can see the amount of attraction between two features. I had trouble figuring this part out, it was probably the hardest for me out of all the units. It wasnt that bad but I kept getting stuck at the parts where it would ask me to click the service area layer, it would genuinely not give me what I needed, it took me a second to try and figure out how to get through these tutorials at the end but it was still cool. I think analyzing the optimal soltuions and doing your turn was difficult, but it was also a pretty informative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6912\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-3.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6913\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-2.jpg 481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6914\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-1-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/GIS-1-rotated.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6910\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/Map-300x262.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/Map-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/Map-768x670.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/geog-291\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2026\/02\/Map.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; chapter 7 I enjoyed completing chapter 7, especially the first few tutorials, where I got to just move around and adjust the outlines of buildings and correct them.
