Thanks for reaching out with your question. The retirement of AppStudio only affects the development of custom mobile apps within ArcGIS. There are four different Maps SDKs that support developing native mobile apps - one each for iOS and Android and two cross platform. This blog post explains a bit more about the options and links through to a useful FAQ: www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/appstudio/announcements/arcgis-appstudio-retirement-roadmap-and-beyond/

Hi Rachel. The first animated map example comes from one of the exercises in our Cartography MOOC (www.esri.com/training/mooc/), which is well worth signing up for. The key to this animation is the use of two date fields to control when each track location appears and then disappears - set to a fixed interval so each location displays for a short period and then drops as the track moves on.

Hi, you can find the Ramblers path map site here: www.ramblers.org.uk/get-involved/out-there/out-there-getting-paths-on-maps/mapping-scotland-paths.aspx

Hi, The demo in this session used data from OpenAerialMap along with the sample documentation (developers.arcgis.com/python/samples/count-cars-in-aerial-imagery-using-deep-learning/). The QR codes in the slides should still take you to the relevant resources.

GPS is a data point, stuff like ArcGIS turns it into maps, that can be stacked, filtered, and analyzed. My fave example is that with the appropriate mix of datasets, you could run a urban flooding scenario and know exactly which areas will be underwater, which critical facilities are disabled, degraded, or functional, in seconds, instead of the hours it would take to do it by hand.

@@MiishaKorvian That helps. Thanks
