Part 1 Using, making, and sharing maps

• Get an introduction to the ArcGIS platform.
• Get an introduction to the ArcGIS Pro user interface.
• Learn to navigate maps.
• Work with tables of attribute data.
• Get an introduction to symbolizing and labeling maps.
• Work with side-by-side 2D and 3D maps.
• Publish a map to ArcGISSM Online.
• Configure maps in ArcGIS Online.
• Use Explorer for ArcGIS on a mobile device.

The ArcGIS platform is an integrated collection of GIS software packages and apps developed by Esri that work seamlessly across desktop computers, the internet, and mobile devices. The tutorials in this first chapter will familiarize you with some major components of this platform: ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and Explorer for ArcGIS. Youll use additional ArcGIS apps and packages in other chapters.

ArcGIS Pro, the major package taught in this book, is a 64-bit desktop GIS application that uses the Microsoft ribbon interface for 2D and 3D map authoring, analysis, and web publishing. The interface makes relevant tools visible and available for whatever work youre doing in GIS. ArcGIS Online is Esris cloud solution for interactive web mapping and spatial data sharing. Maps that you create in ArcGIS Pro can be published to ArcGIS Online. Then, once in ArcGIS Online, maps can be accessed in web browsers and in mobile-device apps. Explorer for ArcGIS is a simple interactive viewer for your online maps.

In this chapter, you will work with a finished map that has the locations of urgent health care clinics in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. These clinics are Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) that provide subsidized health care for underserved populations and MedExpress clinics that provide private health care. In part, both FQHCs and MedExpress centers are low-cost alternatives to hospital emergency rooms. You will examine the finished maps components while navigating through user interfaces and around mapped features. In the process, youll learn that both the publicly funded and private-sector urgent health care clinics are well-located in interesting spatial patterns.

You must have ArcGIS Pro and the data for this book installed on your computer for this tutorial and the rest of the book. If you are taking a GIS class in a college or university, your instructor will provide access to ArcGIS Pro on computer lab computers or your own computer. If you are not in a class, or in an organization that licenses ArcGIS, you can download ArcGIS Pro: go to http://pro.arcgis.com and sign up for a free trial. The first time you start ArcGIS Pro, you will be prompted to license the software. To license the software, you must have an ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS account (http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/install-and-sign-in-to-arcgis-pro.htm).

Before starting work on your computer, review key terminology for ArcGIS Pro projects and spatial data.

A project is a file, with the extension .aprx, that contains one or more maps and related items. For example, youll open project Tutorial1-1.aprx in ArcGIS Pro after this introduction. The project has two maps, Health Care Clinics and Health Care Clinics_3D, plus other project items.
