Week 10: Geocoding and Spring Break

This lab was easy to follow and to complete. I had one small issue with the city type. I was able to convert the labels to annotations so I could move them. However, in the upper left corner of the map there were some labels that went with cities that are off the map. I could not figure out how to delete them, so I made them disappear by making them the same color as the county. I wonder what is the best way to handle this? I got lucky that the labels did not cross more than one color.

Week 9: Buffers

Question answers:

1. I used the Intersect tool. It accomplished the same thing as using the union tool and selecting the appropriate records, but with fewer steps.

2. I used the erase tool because it excluded the conservation areas from the possible sites.

3. There were 79 features. The Largest was 7,765,034.5 square meters and the smallest was 748.1 square meters.

Week 7: Editing Data

This was easier than I expected. The ESRI module took a lot longer than I expected, so I started this very late. The exercises in the module were very helpful.
