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.
