Mapping Workshop
Thursday, March 21
Styling map data
- Log in to ArcGIS Online
- Bryn Mawr: login with SSO at brynmawrcollege.maps.arcgis.com
- Haverford: login with SSO at trico.maps.arcgis.com
- Start with Cartographic creations - Style and thematic data
Chose-your-own adventure
Continue working at your own pace with one of these options:
-
Continue the Cartographic creations tutorial series with Make pop-ups and labels
-
Try working on a different dataset and following some of the steps from the ‘Style and thematic data’ section. For example, try using this Philadelphia City Landmarks dataset from Open Data Philly.
-
Follow a different tutorial, such as this project based tutorial for data summaries: Summarize cycling routes within townships Or this deep dive into Chloropleth maps
-
Challenge: can you find geographic data for the U.S. National Park visitors dataset? What steps would you need to take to map this dataset?
Embedding your map
- Data essay sample repository: Data essay live site and data essay repository
- Make sure your layers and map are shared publicly (you can manage this on the “content” tab in ArcGIS online)
- Get the embed code:
- From the map viewer, the left hand menu has an elipses -> Embed
- You can select options for the embed and it will generate an iframe for you.
- Copy and paste that into a website
- Or create an iframe: add the url as a ‘src’ element and specify the width and height
