Today, ESRI released additional 2010 Census data to the public. Downloading and formatting Census data can be very time-consuming, so this resource is a real boon to users of Census data.
Additional resources and articles from ESRI can be found on their news page.
There’s a guide from Aileen Buckley and Kenneth Field of ESRI that can be found in the latest edition of ArcUser Magazine. It’s essentially a 10-point checklist for making a better map.
View the guide as a web page here or as a PDF
More great tips are available at ESRI’s Mapping Center.
See the page ‘training‘ to read about options for GIS training from ESRI (available to Michigan Tech students, faculty, and staff at no cost).
Geocoding is the process of interpolating a location from an address. Data used in geocoding does not have a spatial location (coordinates) and is usually stored in a database or spreadsheet.
ESRI has developed a tutorial for ArcGIS Online that shows how to perform geocoding. It is available here.
