Chapter 4<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 4 taught me how to organize further and modify attribute data using a map. I can remove unnecessary fields and calculate new values, which can lead to joining tables and make data easier to analyze. This skill is important for future work with GIS because I can zoom in on data in large map work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5 introduces different types of spatial data and how to convert them into different formats. Some of the files I worked with include shapefiles, XY coordinates and KML files, which allow for different sources to be combined and displayed accurately on a map.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/span><\/p>\n

The lessons in Chapter 6 taught me how to combine, add, and analyze various geographic datasets. I learned to use new tools such as Merge, Dissolve, and Intersect. These tools will be beneficial in the future when I want to streamline the amount of data I am working with<\/p>\n
