Chapter 1:
- First off it was really interesting to see all the advantages of Web GIS and it seems more friendly to use than desktop GIS.this seems to be a program where you can heavily connect to various data and people to gain information and learn.I didn’t quite fully understand the information about hosted and nonhosted feature layers but it might make more sense down the line. The tutorial was a little hard for me to understand, I wasn’t able to download the files correctly. Therefore I am planning to set-up a meeting to discuss that.
Chapter 2:
- The beginning of this chapter talks about hosted layers more in depth which was helpful. I thought it was really cool to see the sample smart-mapping styles. I think the idea of storytelling through GIS is really cool. In the previous course we did a little storytelling but I am interested to see more components. I was struggling again to get the download correct therefore I wasn’t able to complete the tutorial.
