For the first application I finally finished a geographical profile of the Jack the Ripper murders of 1888. This was a very hard project for me to do as many of the addresses listed as the crime scenes are on streets that have different names in the present day at best and no longer exist at worst. I did my best to find any geographical information on the crime scenes but given the fact I am working with a large scale map, any errors would likely be relatively minor, (getting building numbers wrong, ETC.) something that was very helpful in creating this was the pop ups which helped me label the crime scenes, write details on the victims, and attach photos/drawings of the crime scenes.

My second application was a more fun one, it was tracking the path of the Zeppelin L-59 on its famous journey from Bulgaria to German East Africa in 1917. (Though the flight was unsuccessful due to an abort message being sent.) Here I had a lot more freedom to indulge in the many features of ArcGIS online, such as physically drawing L-59’s flight path, adding data points where L-59 was built, where her hanger was, and her approximate destination. Working this really put into perspective just how far the Zeppelin had traveled and I had so much fun with this I might even get my own personal ArcGIS account to track other long distance airship flights.
