How to make a simple map in ArcMap

This video goes through how to make your first map in ArcMap. I call this "Hello World" borrowing from computer programming's tradition of making your first program. In this map, we use built-in basemap, drawing toolbar, and map elements to make a simple map. This is using ArcMap 10.0 Good video for someone who is just opening ArcMap for the first time.

My university gave me this 10-page impenetrable pdf on how to do this that I swear you needed a masters in cryptography to understand and a 10 min vid from the last decade beat it. Thanks man

[@bellumangelicus1212]

Thank you for keeping it clear and simple.

[@ananyaashok1405]

Thank you very much for this simple, easy-to-follow video. Is there one you would recommend watching to learn how to create oceanographic maps with sampling locations?

[@SolomonEdwardsojiambo]

You are the best GIS teacher of all time. I appreciate all you do and love to follow all your lectures

[@NaimishaVanik]

Thanks for the tutorial... nicely explained... :)

[@bayzidmahmud4573]

Thanks for the tutorial. It just took 1 hour to make a map after seeing your video. I was totally noob in making these kind of stuffs. But now i can tell, i can make map on GIS (hahaha). Thank you brother.

[@LoperacoIE]

Great, what video you suggest to wach after this one?

[@softwareandhardwaresolutions]

Thank you much for this video! I knew nothing about ArcMap and suddenly

[@abdulkadirgure6940]

[@happykatele936]

[@bikilanegasa4543]

Thank you so much for your generous time and energy. My data view is okay but my layout view is not working what shall I do? I cannot see where it put my map when I shift from data view to layout view. Can you help me please how to solve this problem?

[@willyoung3358]

I recently got a trial version of ArcMap 10.4.1, and of the three 'Add Data' pull-down options only the top one (Add data )was available and the lower two (Add Basemap and 'Add Data' from 'ArcGIS Online' ) were grayed out and not selectable. How can I make the internet connection to get the base maps or do I need to be operating in ArcGIS online ?

[@kahaaniyaShowcase28]

Hi I really like your vedio, I found it really very informative for biggners like me .... yeah soon I'll send my map ... thanks for this vedio👍

[@rgisassi]

I got my first map done with your tutorial. I'm so proud of myself and thankful to you for this tutorial.

[@sounny]

Happy to hear. Good luck and keep mapping.

[@peterheine6240]

Which applications do you use ArcCatalog and ArcMap for? Can you give me two examples

[@peterheine6240]

could you please help me? Name two software components (besides ArcMap) from ArcGIS Desktop.

[@taherqassim4468]

I am working with Mac and have no ArcMap on it. The ArcGis from search have to be purchased. Is this the case for the course?

[@Azawadtube]

That is cool Thanks

[@sittingtrog1]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm looking at ArcGIS as a career move since I've been using Illustrator to draw diagrams, layouts, maps and overlays for various projects and locations mostly outside of the US. Can ArcGIS create searchable maps? What I mean is the ability to create a map and assign building numbers and other attributes that can be searched and identified to a user. I though wayfinding software would be a solution but I do no need navigation nor touch screen abilities. If not ArcGIS, can you recommend a solution? Thanks again.

[@tililaaj6170]

Yes, ArcGis can do that

[@panashejoewadyehwata9170]

well explained thank you sir

[@boyerobertson351]

what a great tutorial video.

[@sounny]

Boye Robertson thanks!

[@jiamseth5521]

Very interesting one

[@majokd]

Hi! thanks for your tutorial :) i have a problem though... when i go to the Binoculars to Find the maps, in the dropdown list only gives me 2 options, and none of those show much info :( how can i get all the others added?? Thank you!

[@sounny]

+MaJo C The newer version of ArcMap combined all the services to just ArcGIS.com, when you look for a location there you will see it still pings multiple locators, you can see the service in the column next to the confidence percentage.

[@EsriAzerbaijanGISdersleri1]

Are you a professor? If so, where? I'm taking my first GIS/Computer Cartography this current semester (Fall2018) at Fitchburg State University in Fitchburg, Massachusetts!

[@markel7515]

How can I add 2 different highways and a major road?

[@navyacherupally8485]

In my ArcMap, it doesn't show Add Basemap ...what should i do... Let me know pls

[@izzeldinabdalla8158]

Dear Sir I thanks you more fo, because this may used for education

[@user-tf7te5fs2n]

Is map already prepared or I should prepare it?? I couldn't understand How can I create map when I use the software for the first time???

[@sounny]

hevi jamal you should just follow along. The video starts from zero and end with a map to output

[@taherqassim4468]

I have registered with Arcmap for a 21 days trial but the window and tool bar are different from yours. Pleaese advice

[@hulk8889]

How you download trial version, I can't find it on esri website. Is there link?

[@senadpamuk6920]

Do you know how to make visible coordinate web over map?

[@bestsolutionline]

Please go to View menu and click on Data frame properties and then on NEW Grid and then next ..next Coordinates will be visible on map OK

[@foxyy3671]

Thanks ......

[@brianfoley2952]

how do you have it loading so fast??? what are you're specs?

[@sounny]

That computer had 32 gigs of RAM and i7. But the key here was internet speed since the slow point is the downloading of the base map

[@sounny]

As you know there are no hard rules in design just guidelines. The scalebar could have gone on the dataframe itself, or even where the captain went. True it would be better. The main point in making a map is effective communication and this map does the job.

[@patriciaakpouyeh476]

hello...thanks this was very helpful and explanatory. How can I download ArcGIS,please? And what is your email so I can send my first map for your comment...

[@ezekielakinyemi1234]

How do I register hear

[@hilaryotb1520]

"Add Basemap "isn't active ! It is gray ! Why ?

[@rodneylubega4076]

You are not connected to the internet!

[@ibrahimmasud9786]

In basemap, without openstreet map no one is working. plz help

[@DarijaChannel]

Where are you accessing it from in the world? I wonder if basemap will work behind country-level firewalls.

[@brennanhardison521]

With regards to the comment below " You mention good cartographic design yet placed a scale bar at the bottom of the page and a caption right below the map?!" I think the purpose was to create a map not a lesson on "cartographic design" but what do I know I've only been on CAD since version 13.0 lol

[@maarirs12894]

lol. ArcGIS loves to make everything thats very important really small. lol.

[@aungnaing1661]

[@Pletelandia]

Hello, do you know why "Add Basemap" is not active for me

[@sounny]

This could happen if your computer can't reach ArcGIS.com map services because it is being blocked by firewall.

[@Pletelandia]

And do you know how to solve this problem?

[@sounny]

@@Pletelandia You would need to check your firewall first and make sure it is off. If it is then you need to go to your ArcCatalog and add ArcGIS.com as a GIS Server.

[@Pletelandia]

@@sounny And how do I get to this firewall?

[@sounny]

@@Pletelandia It is a windows setting. Type Firewall in the start menu search and you should see it under the security settings.

[@scbond]

You mention good cartographic design yet placed a scale bar at the bottom of the page and a caption right below the map?!
