Great tip with naming something with "-delete" to know later that it can be removed.

[@Ezster69]

Yes, I am interested in Arcgis. This is so helpful.

Subbed! I'm just beginning to explore programming as a second career; at 44, I'm learning that basing my income on physical work is risky. Of course, everyone says "learn to code" and I get it, but I couldn't think of "what" to do with programming...? Then it hit me last night as I was reading my gazetteer: combine programming and GIS, and build apps! Because yes...I have sat and looked at maps all of my life, much like others read novels, lol. And I thought I was weird... ; ) Thank you for this channel, Katie! - Ben

[@KatieScheurer]

I’m glad to hear you are embracing something new and exciting. If programming doesn’t suit you it’s ok. There are so many things you can do with GIS without programming and in the environmental side you can get outdoors some too!

The video content was very helpful and you have been really generous to share the complimentary info.

I saw many videos related to my problem,but i found my complete solution through this video.

Excellent knowledge , it's very helpful for beginners like me. Thanks 👍

Thanks Katie! This was super helpful!!

[@chrisstover2976]

Thanks for this. I have been using ArcMap for years…moving into ArcPro…also looking at retirement in the next few years. I appreciate the overview and what capabilities are available out there in the online NGO versions.

[@cararook]

This has been really helpful! I've always heard about Esri and GIS data as a data analyst, but have never had a use case for it until recently. Your walk through is super clear and straightforward. Thanks for this video and all the rest :)

[@KatieScheurer]

caroline glad it was helpful for you! Warning once you start working with spatial data you may never go back. 😏

[@michaeltomiak]

A very infromative video - thank you. Would be useful to know a bit more about the 'groups' under a free account, because this is one of the main limitations I understand.

[@adeebafzalgori8645]

Thanks

[@OskarKM]

Can it produce contours? Getting confused, I am new to GIS

[@baibhawkumar3246]

Hey @ Katie Scheurer Thanks for the video. I have a question. Is it valid to use the maps generated by the online software for research publications?

[@KatieScheurer]

I think you can as long as you understand the map and data that is presented. Also you would want to give credit to the researchers and creator as you would for any resource.

[@rednose1966]

Awesome stuff

[@PauseBoden]

I want to make KZbin tutorials, do you know if I can use the Personal Use license for that?

[@mehdiben4186]

hi katie i hope you r doing good , thanks a lot for your videos , please i have a question , m still an university student (19yo) studying biology , chem,and geology in Morocco and il want to learn GIS now at home and complete some tasks online and get some money ( learning it it s more important for me ) , is it possible in this summer ? and what would you suggest me to start with , QGIS or ARCGIS

[@suhail6152]

Hey I am trying to export a map (with street map as base map) to jpeg but I am not getting all details in the image. If i zoom in, I get the details but not the whole map. *I am new to arcgis (My Map is a larger area within a state)

[@KatieScheurer]

That is due to the visibility levels on the base map. There is a vector base map editor that Esri provides where you can change that setting. developers.arcgis.com/vector-tile-style-editor/. This is a little more advanced if you are a beginner but poke around and have some fun with it. That is part of working with GIS.

[@johncortenbach3574]

Thank you for the video. I have a question about using Arc GIS Online or other options. I don't think there is a way to extract the raster elevation value onto a polygon through ArcGIS Online. Can it only be done through ArcMap and ArcPro? I appreciate your feedback.

[@KatieScheurer]

My guess would be no. I think you will need to step up to ArcPro. But you could create your own tool and launch it in online or portal to expand your capabilities.

[@johncortenbach3574]

@@KatieScheurer I appreciate the great feedback. I just saw your videos. We need more people spreading the word about GIS. 🤓

[@robbiem4624]

I am looking to get into becoming a historical gis analyst. What I mean is research properties and make maps with them. What I mean is when you click on a piece of property it shows the deed history of that property and any fun facts such as when it was built or if a event happened on that property. In order to view the deeds, you have to go to the county recorder. Another option could be to go to the recorder or show proof if id especially if you are not the property owner. This is because as to not break confidentiality and so you will not try to steal the property from the owner. I am also wondering is it a good idea to get a geography degree with emphasis in remote sensing or get a degree in geographic information systems or just get a certificate.

[@AznBMan75]

Is the FREE ArcGIS Online able for you to get geo-distance radius locations (20 miles, 50 miles, 70 miles radius in the U.S.)? Like given, New York, and you are provided hospital locations and supplier locations, and you want 50 miles radius of suppliers from a hospital in NY.

What is the average salary for GIS analyst in your country?

[@merenpegler1692]

Thank you very much! do you maybe know how to set the interface to English? because I am located in Israel and everything is in Hebrew... thank you

[@hahandroo]

Go to your Profile and Settings section and there's an option there for language.

[@junkfiles4043]

Is there any open source alternate of arcgis online?

[@KatieScheurer]

You can look into QGIS for open source GIS solutions.

[@bluboots45]

Any advice for someone who wants to get into urban planning with GIS?

[@KatieScheurer]

GIS can be a great tool in urban planning and development. I would encourage you to learn how to layer and analyze information spatially to help solve problems you will come across in your studies. Working with land management and census data could be very valuable.

[@bluboots45]

@@KatieScheurer thank you! Great advise. I appreciate the tips!!

[@shelbytownsend3511]

Hi great video. Do you know if there are any platforms or sites that offer tutoring for Arcgispro? Let me. Know
