This map is the product of the first lab module for
GIS5050L. The first objective of this lab was to demonstrate one’s efficiency
of accessing and moving data within ArgoApps. Next was an exercise introducing
the basics of ArcGIS Pro resulting in a world country population map
represented in a continuous color scale. In addition to displaying population by
country, 2,539 major cities are represented by black point symbols. I did run
into an issue where my layout was slightly zoomed in therefore resulting in
eastern Russia and western Alaska being cut off from view. I was able to correct
this by clicking on the “full extent” button located in the Map group while
under the Layout tab.
To conclude, we exported our final map as a JPEG and were
asked to define some basic terminology pertaining to ArcGIS Pro. It has been
nearly 15 years since I used ArcMap so luckily, I did not have to relearn
anything.
Overall, since I have a had a little bit of experience with
ArcGIS Pro over the past six months this lab was fairly easy for me to follow
and complete. I did have a few confused moments while creating my folders in ArgoApps, but
I believe at this point I have them correct. I am looking forward to the next
module and building on what I have learned in this one.
