Project 3: Web Applications - Analyze Week


During Analyze week of Module 3, Topics in GIS, we created story maps. My story map depicts ten locations in Okaloosa County, Florida where I spend my time and money!  For the project, we were provided with basically everything we would require; we just had to update it with our information.  I first found or took photos of my locations of interest, and then using a picture editor resized the photos for use in the map.  I then found the coordinates to the locations and converted them to decimal degrees, and wrote a brief description of each location. Once this was done I updated the .csv file that was provided.  Done with the .csv file I created a web map in ArcGIS online, and added my points to the map along with a supporting layer.  Then I “pointed” my map template, which was provided, to the map I had just created in ArcGIS online, and added the UWF logo.  After this was complete I tested my link to ensure my map worked, much to my surprise it did!  This week took me way out of my comfort zone, the lab handout provided helped, but the “Read Me” file provided was a life saver!  Below is a link to my map it is not real flashy but it has been a rough week. Hope you enjoy.
