Here’s the agenda for my sessions today, including notes, links to the sites, apps and services I’ll reference and any commentary I’ll add to the document during the day.
AM: Basic Session – getting started with ArcGIS Online, plopping points, base maps, etc.
- Mapping with ArcGIS Online (AGOL) – PDF Document with links to tutorial videos
- Start at www.arcgis.com/home
- Browse the pre-made map gallery
- Click ‘MAP’ to enter the mapping tool
- 30-Day Free Trial vs. Organizational Accounts (SEDC, UEN, other service centers, etc.)
- Email me if you’d like an SEDC Organizational Account and I’ll send an invite
- Making a map
- I’ll add to my SUU POI’s Map
- Navigate to map area desired
- Change the basemap
- Add interesting data layers – you can find most all Utah GIS data through Add → Search for Layers → In: ArcGIS Online
- Add ‘Map Notes’ – allows you to drop your own points, text, lines, areas, shapes, etc.
- Dropping points
- Give point context and meaning
- Change symbols
- Image URL? Image Link URL?
PM: Intermediate Session – going deeper with mapping and data collection. Including photos in maps, custom data fields, collecting map data with apps
- Start at https://sedc.maps.arcgis.com – Sign in with your new SEDC Org account
- Discuss different tools used to make maps and how do you bring it all together?
- GPS – how to get points out in a usable format? Garmin Basecamp
- Camera – photos must be hosted/posted online – use image URL for AGOL maps
- Google Drive is a good solution, as well as Dropbox Photos folder
- Field Data? Clipboard is a great tool, but how do you bring data from multiple students/groups together? Google Forms &/or Google Sheets
- One tool that can combine all of this?
- Tap Forms ($8.99) or give it a try first with Tap Forms Lite
- Custom Data Fields?
- Edit .csv file from Basecamp in Excel or Google Drive/Sheets
- Remove extraneous data
- Add in the data you want. Each column is a new Data field in map points
- Save back out as a .csv
- Add layers via file demo
- Tutorial of whole process (GPS → Garmin Basecamp → Google Sheets → ArcGIS Online map points) on YouTube here.
