In chapter 3, I learned about ArcGIS Experience Builder. I learned the basics of experience builder and some of its key features. The web apps that are created using the experience builder are called web experiences. After learning about the basics, I started tutorial 3 to create a web experience that displays data about historical earthquakes and hurricanes. First I created a 2D and 3D integrated web experience. There were a few steps that I had to google where the buttons were but other than that, it went smoothly. Next, I configured map message actions. Then I configured dynamic content, the table widget, and the filter and chart widgets. Last, I added two pages. When I was adding the link to the second page, it said it only supports HTTPS so it wouldn’t work. I just moved on. Overall, I enjoyed this tutorial and I see how this type of app can really help show data and make connections.
Chapter 4 was all about mobile GIS. I learned about the concepts and advantages of mobile GIS such as mobility and ease of data collection. I also learned about field maps which allows users to display web maps, search for places and features, such as assets or areas of study, and be directed to them. In tutorial 4, I learned to use Survey123, Field Maps, QuickCapture, and AuGeo. While doing 4.1 and adding a map, I couldn’t find the imagery hybrid basemap. I also could not figure out how to set the rule for step 14. In the end, the survey still worked fine. In 4.3 I couldn’t find the create a list button for step 15 and so I wasn’t able to complete the rest of the tutorial. This created a problem for the next several tutorials but I am still going to try and figure them out. It was interesting to download and use the apps on my phone when I had no idea GIS could connect to things like that. I thought AuGeo was a cool project as well.
An application I could create would use experience builder to show crimes in a specific area. I could have the 2D and 3D maps and show data that shows the different types and amount of crimes. I could add other pages with additional information about the location and maybe a website with resources on how to report a crime or stay safe.Â
