Symbology is one of those things that can make or break a map. If it is not clear and intuitive, users can be left feeling frustrated by the lack of clarity and the amount of time it takes to find what they are looking for. (I can’t be the only person who walks away grumbling […]

Building Accessible Routing Networks with ADA Compliance
When GIS professionals think of maps, our minds wander anywhere from locating water meters for the town to the workflow required to analyze the carbon sequestration potential of rainforests. When non-GIS users think of maps, their first thought is most likely getting directions from one place to another. When you pull out your phone to […]
Take Advantage of these New Features in ArcGIS Field Maps
Since the retirement of ArcGIS Collector in December of 2021, ArcGIS Field Maps has gotten its fair share of enhancements. Data collection forms are now incredibly customizable and there have been additional upgrades included in the app itself, such as the option to use geofences. The transition to Field Maps is simple, once you become […]
Get to Know Your Toolbox – Map Series in ArcGIS Pro
The Map Series, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated tools in ArcGIS Pro. It is a fantastic way to customize reports that summarize data within a polygon layer. The ability to use queries and dynamic text that provide answers to the questions being asked for multiple areas of interest is a breeze. […]
Take Your Team to the Top with Tasks and Templates in ArcGIS Pro
In GIS workflows, there are several ways to accomplish the same task. From symbology configurations to analyses, each person has their way of doing things. Sometimes, though, a project requires that multiple staff members adhere to the same requirements. To design a seamless workflow, users can create tasks in ArcGIS Pro and share project templates […]
First Look: Electric Distribution Data Management for ArcGIS Online
If you work in the utility sector, specifically electricity, you have more than likely heard of Esri’s Utility Network and may have been interested in implementing it within your organization. ArcGIS Enterprise may not be feasible at this point in time, and you may need a solution that’s fully accessible by field crews. If that […]
Enhance Your Web Maps with Arcade
If you are an ArcGIS Online user, you have likely heard of Arcade. This relatively new language can be used for analysis in web maps or to enhance pop-ups and symbology. While it may seem like an intimidating new coding language, it is relatively simple to use and does not require any previous coding knowledge. […]
Where Is Your Data? CAD to GIS Conversion
If you work in a GIS or Engineering field, you are likely incredibly familiar with either CAD or GIS, but behind the curve when it comes to the other. This makes sense and is completely understandable when your work focuses more on one program. CAD, or Computer Aided Drawing, is a program used by a […]
Sharing (GIS Data) is Caring
Sharing data can be a touchy subject. In general, it seems that people and institutions do not like their research and findings being freely accessible to the public. If you have worked on any project requiring data you could not collect on your own, you have more than likely jumped onto the World Wide Web […]
Case Study: GEO Jobe UAV and the Sandestin Owners Association
It is not uncommon for organizations to supplement their GIS data with aerial imagery captured from a manned aircraft or drone. This perspective may come as an after-thought to some, being procured after a GIS program has already been established; however, for the Sandestin Owners Association, aerial imagery came before their GIS. Three years ago, […]
