GIS 5050 Week 1 - ArcGIS Pro Overview: Orientation

Image
This week's assignment was geared toward becoming familiar with ArcGIS Pro, inclusive of the interface, basic functionality and setting up a project, and also learning to navigate the drives used to store and manage data and assignments. The familiarization process resulted in the map displayed above, which pinpoints various cities around the world. The map is missing many of the usual map elements, such as a legend, scale and north arrow, but they will be introduced in future assignments.  As someone who has some experience with ArcMap there was a bit of a challenge adjusting to the ArcGIS Pro, as I have to unlearn and relearn some of the tools. I am, however, looking forward to a more in depth look at the functions and tools, and learning the ins and outs of ArcGIS Pro, especially customizing maps.
