In Chapter 3 I worked with Experience Builder and how it can be used for turning web maps into interactive apps instead of just maps. I learned how to choose or design a template, pick a theme, connect data, add widgets, adjust the layout for different devices, then save, preview, and publish. I also learned the difference between message actions and data actions . Even though the tutorial was confusing at first and I really struggled with Experience Builder but after I was done i found the maps i created to be very fascinating.
In Chapter 4 I learned about using GIS on mobile devices and creating those appps. I worked on creating AR, adding incident reports with photos and details and surveys as well. I also learned about why when designing mobile apps we should keep limits in mind because mobiles are less powerful then computers and the apps have to be less complicated. These can be useful when doing field work which is why I found it really interesting. I found the AR AuGeo the most interesting because ARCGIS makes it very simple to create, it was very similar to an app I use called flight radar and now I understand how it works.
The biggest problem I had was that the UI for making these apps has been updated so its hard to find exactly the things the tutorial is talking about.
An idea for my project using these chapters would be to:
– Create an AuGeo app that uses AR to show coffee shops in the direction you are pointing to
