Intro to GIS - Week 4 - ArcGIS Online and Map Packages

GIS 4043 Week 4 Lab: ArcGIS Online and Map Packages

In this week’s lab, I learned to use ArcGIS Online as it interacts with ArcMap, searching for ArcGIS Online data from within ArcMap, and creating map packages to share in ArcGIS Online.

In sharing a map to ArcGIS Online, under File > Share As > Map Package, I was glad to learn that Analyze will flag missing Item Description items.  An item description is necessary to understand the map once is shared online.

Once the map is shared (uploaded to ArcGIS Online) the steps to find it under My Content are rather easy.  The map loads easily into ArcGIS for Desktop.  I also found copying the data layers and setting them up for a generalized and detailed view very interesting.

Below are my map package summarizes from ArcGIS Online with the Item Description information.
