In this GIS blog I will be posting maps which I have prepared. Click on the maps to view a larger image. Sometimes you may have to click a second time on the map in order to bring the wording more into focus.

Module 1: Using GIS to Solve Problems and Exploring a GIS Map
The goal on the second map was to find the 6 best locations for a youth center based on the following criteria: a residential area containing greater than 75 youth, ages 5 to 17. I had to "union" 2 layers of attributes to achieve this goal. It was a bit more challenging. I was concerned toward the end of this deliverable because I kept seeing more than 6 locations, until I exported the data to "youthcenter.gbd" and created a new layer for chosen buildings. I actually restarted the map twice because I thought I had not followed the directions correctly. Yet, on the third try I just kept going and voila... there were the 6 locations!!
The first map is of San Diego,California. Working with this map gave me an opportunity to explore a GIS map and check out some of the tools used to display information on a map.
