In today's lab we are learning how to use the ArcGIS program by doing exercises in chapters 3,4,18, and 19 of the book.

Chapter 3 Questions:
1. On what date did Amelia Earhart depart Oakland, CA? 05/21/1937
2. On what date did Amelia Earhart arrive at Lae, Papua New Guinea? 06/29/1937
3. According to your measurements, what is the distance (in km) between the following locations?
a. Howland Island to Nikumaroro Island = 770.989 km
b. Lae, Papua New Guinea to Howland Island = 4151.8 km
c. Howland Island to Hawaii’s big island = 3118.755 km
4. How many segments, or legs, were included on Earhart’s flight path between Oakland, CA and
Lae, Papua, New Guinea? 27
5. Which was the shortest leg? #9 From St. Louis to Dakar
6. How long was the longest leg? 3184.838 km
Today I learned in chapter 4 how to use ArcCatelog in order to add layers to a map. I created my own layer of the area of disappearance (shown above) which can now be viewed in ArcMap along with the original layer map of Amelia Earhart's entire flight path around the world. I also learned how to connect folders and access the information within them to read and interpret for adding to maps or just finding out about the data within.
In Chapter 18, I exported a map in 3 different image file formats. The EMP file is 151 KB, the JPEG is 230 KB, and the bitmap is 2.46 MB. Because I want my web pages to load quickly, I will use the smallest image file below.
