ArcGIS Online Katie Correll Britt
ArcGIS A GIS supports advanced spatial analysis tools. • How many people are located with in a 3 mile radius of this store? • How many acres of land in Alleghany county are good vineyards? • If we build a new neighborhood in this location, what will be the impact to local schools, traffic, water, sewer, etc.
Finding data to import • Open a new browser • Downloaded files in .zip format can be used in ArcGIS Online • Leave the files in a .zip folder to import • A shapefile consists of multiple files
* Note that these files may contain too many features for the free version of ArcGIS Online
There are many free, downloadable shapefiles available. Search for terms of interest plus “.shp” or “shapefile” and “download.”
