ArcGIS Online

This week was a little less involved than last week.  We learned about creating and sharing map packages online.  This is a vital tool when you need to present or collaborate with multiple parties who may or may not be in the same location.  It was fairly simple to create map packages, we needed to create 2 separate map packages

Use and modify map and tile packages
The above map package will be used to identify climbing spots in Yosemite National Park.  It was a very good introduction to using and sharing map and tile packages.


Optimize a map package
The above map package was significantly more involved.  We constructed a map that showed the study of Ponderosa Pines in the Aguirre Springs drainage. This map can be used to monitor the sample sites by hydrologists, landscape ecologists, and hydrologists.  Overall it was a very good lab to show the power of the online collaboration tools as well as how easy it is to upload a map for collaboration.
