As someone who had some difficulty using the desktop GIS, I had some high hopes that web GIS would be more straightforward as it did not require a whole software system nor an external hard drive. However the first week of learning the ropes of web GIS proved me VERY wrong. Though map and scene creation was significantly easier for me, I found the uploading and copying of data onto the map and the logistics of the layers to be rather troublesome to learn. I’ll have to devote some extra time to learn the ins and outs of this software this week.
One hope I do have for web GIS is that the final project would not be limited strictly to activities within Delaware County, as I found that to be a rather frustrating limitation when I was working on my project last unit.
