The Manatee Project

Wow this was such a challenging project. This project encompassed nearly everything we learned this semester. This required research. The primary tool was ArcGIS. Support tools included Erdas Imagine MS Excel, Powerpoint and Word.
A PowerPoint presentation accompanied by a written slide‐by‐slide summary is required as the final deliverables

Week 11 - Labels and Annotations

I learned a good bit about label and such but it took soooo much longer than the suggested times. 

In this exercise, We wrote VBScript code to customize the text string for labels. Then modified existing labeling properties to create dynamic label callouts. Finally, used a variety of techniques to manually add descriptive text to the map.

Along the way I discovered some of the differences between dynamic labels and manually-created text. I also learned how to troubleshoot my application to distinguish between the two once I've added them to a map.

I like this one too.  The red line is the hiking trail across Shivano
