In this weeks lab we did more exercises in projections, but by far it was a very difficult lab. This was the first week where we ultimately had to make a map on our one without specific step-by-step directions. A part of the map layers for this lab is an aerial view of West Pensacola, major roadways in Florida, boundaries of Florida's 67 counties, a Quad Index to help distinguish what each section is hence West Pensacola being in its own quadrant, and last but not least petroleum tank storage locations in Escambia county. To get the data needed to create this map we needed to use the common sites where the data is located, such as, labins.org, and FGDL. Once we collected all of the data, we needed to make sure all of the layers were projected to the same Coordinate system. As a result we gained more experience with the Project tool. After this weeks lab, I feel more confident then ever that I can complete this class with high success.
