Introduction to ArcGIS online

We will need to provide a tour of the interface and the different apps. We can keep how to add a layer for later

Concepts of a map

Basemap (background)
Layers (you add on top of the basemap)
Symbology & legend

Optional for online maps?

Scale
Orientation (North oriented is the default)
Grid - Lat/Long

I want to draw a shape on a map

Choose a basemap

Topography
Satellite

Draw a polygon around campus

Make a new map
Add a sketch
Make sure to choose polygon
Save your map (please use our naming convention!)

how - too

But is a shape data?

Add an observation to our cognitive borders of campus map
See previous observations on the results map

screenshot of the add a polygon button

Features have attributes

a data table
columns have fixed data types (a lot of them)
for example bikes

Play with symbology & transparency

Based on data street_pavement

Make a new map
Choose a basemap
Add layer from Contents –> Groups –> From Maps to Analysis
Create filter to show only bikepaths
Join 2 filters together to OR sidewalks
Save your work!

More tools

non-Esri tools:

Google Maps and Earth (maybe short demo of this?)
MapBox
OpenStreetMaps
CalTopo
R ← but that’s programming
