When I went to my ArcGIS Online account and viewed my profile, I first edited my Bio and put a brief description of myself. Within this description, I included basic information about my school: OWU 2028 and a few interests of mine like my hobbies and that I have pets. Intro to ArcGIS Online reading, I took away that ArcGIS\u00a0 has compatibility with use in the field. And in the \u201cBe Mobile In The Field\u2019 section states how you are capable of creating these maps to be able to be used offline which I found fascinating since I love being outdoors and access to offline maps when there is no internet could be beneficial. I also took away that you can expand your work past just the basic ArcGIS software and use the other range of products that enable you do use other features and tools. The training I found to be very simple and a refresher of what I learned in Geography 291, where I viewed ice climbing routes for a mountain range in Nevada, which I was able to apply to real-world interests of mine like mountaineering and rock climbing. I found that you can use this software to download routes that I may play ongoing, and you can view how long the approach is, descent, and the actual desired route which I will use in the future. I also learned about using the preview app tool to view the app before doing all the work which makes things faster and easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I picked for my own GIS application areas are rock climbing routes in the Smoky Mountains National Park and dog-friendly parks. The first application, rock climbing routes in the Rocky Mountains, is something I can see myself actually utilizing Arc GIS so I can plan the trip and how long the approaches to the routes are as well as how many pitches there are. I use the preview map option to briefly look over the map and inspect the different routes. The second application, dog-friendly parks, I chose because I have dogs and not all parks are inclusive to pets, so being able to view which ones are and plan accordingly with that would be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n
