Week2_Lab1_World Population Map


This map displays world population by country. I chose this color ramp because I felt there was good visual contrast between breaks, easily understood order, and the highest and lowest values stood out. I rounded the numbers to fit better and because it made no difference in what the map is meant to display. The lab was easy to understand, no problems.

Module 1 Youth Center Map


This map shows 6 potential youth center locations through use of attributes and spatial relationships. The ESRI exercise was very descriptive and easy to follow, no problems, even when playing with alternate scenarios. Easy to get lost in computerland playing around with the options and information available on ESRI site.

Module 1 Tourist Map


This map shows points of interest (highlighted) described in the ESRI exercise in the San Diego area, easy walking distance to trolley stops. The exercises were easily accomplished and fun. It was a good refresher. No trouble or difficulty with any of the tools. The only problems were with the maps refreshing and opening. I'm guessing because of using TS?
