Shaw Week 4

Chapter 3:

  • This chapter was a lot easier to follow because it only focused on one topic.
  • The tutorial was a bit confusing because I could not find the 3D map that was required to use in the tutorial so mine did not turn out as it should have.
  • The 3D maps look very interesting and I am looking forward to learning more.

 

Tutorial

  • It does seem more difficult to do these tutorials on my personal computer than in the GIS lab. I assume it’s because my computer can not hold all the data I need. 
  • These tutorials are much longer than the ones in the last class so attention to detail is very important when doing these.
  • I also can not find the button to switch it to 2D and 3D.
  • I completed the tutorial but did have some difficulty due to missing some key pieces like the 3D map.

 

Chapter 4: 

  • Using Web GIS on your phone is very interesting, I am not sure how people can use it on their phones efficiently as there are so many parties to making these maps.
  • Having WebGIS being mobile does open up a lot of doors for people that need maybe a very specific location. Having your phone being able to access the data will help with GPS and location specific issues. 

 

Tutorial:

  • I had many challenges with this tutorial and after reading other peoples posts it seems like it was a common trend. 
  • The instructions were very confusing and I could not follow or find everything that was being asked.
