I had such a hero crush on Bob Ballard when I was in middle school. My Mom let me skip school one day so I could see a visiting lecture of his at Colgate University.

Today an older woman came in to The Map Center told me she used ArcMap v1 at URI while working with "Bob." 🤯

I would like to also say it should not require 100mb of arcmap to see a fire evacuation boundary

California Department of Conservation's tsunami hazard areas website being down due to traffic is a great reminder that if you're a government and you're going to invest any time at all into high-traffic resilience for your websites, you should prioritize the ones involving emergency situations.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the current pace of change in technology.

A useful counterpoint:

There are STILL organizations using ArcMap for their GIS even though ArcGIS Pro has been out for over a decade.

Technology moves fast; capacity for adoption, not always.

Since I'm fighting software today, might as well go all in.

I'm an ESRI ArcMap GIS user. Worked in forestry was a GIS Tech. I'm familiar with vector based mapping. Campaign Cartographer 3+ is a garbage program and its "manual" is the least useful one I've ever encountered.

Who's still clinging to ArcMap?

(ArcView? Arc/Info? anyone... anyone??)

ArcMap - Where you, too, can utilize multi-core processing power in conjunction with gigs and gigs of RAM to (checks notes) load a right click menu in over a 1 min.

You go, ArcMap. You hack that Pentagon. I believe in you. 🫶

I thought I was real slick for making a few rudimentary maps in arcMap for my history thesis (to give readers a sense of where everything was in western Europe in the Late Antiquity)

looking at these like 🤩

also, excellent alt text work too

It's Map Commission Thread time!

Do you need a map? Or want one? I can help! I make my living drawing custom maps on commission. And I am taking commissions *right now*!

There's more info at my website:
surprisedeelmaps.com

Most of my maps are for history books. Here are some examples! (1/5)
Grayscale map of the Atlantic showing most of the Americas, Europe, and Africa. There are arrows showing the direction of trade, and each arrow has at least one number attached to it. The numbers match a key on the side that lists the products being traded and their place of origin. There are 15 different sets of commodities listed: 1:Midlands & Birmingham: Guns, Gunpowder, Metalware, Silks 2: Liverpool & Lancashire: Cotton-linens 3: Lancashire: Linens, Cottons, Cotton-linens 4: India: Cottons Cowries 5: Midlands & London: Metalware, Silks, Ceramics, Glassware, Guns 6: London & Glasgow: Credit, Shipping Insurance 7: New England: Beef & Pork, Fish, Rum, Wood, Whale products 8: Mid-Atlantic: Grain 9: Chesapeake Colonies: Tobacco 10: Carolinas, Rice, Indigo 11: Caribbean: Sugar, Molasses 12: Brazil: Coffee 13: Brazil: Gold 14: Mexico / Peru: Silver 15: Britain: Grain, Manufactures The map has a set of grey arrows going from West Africa to the Americas showing the number of enslaved workers transported. The arrows are sized relative to the numbers. The largest arrow shows 6 million enslaved workers going to the Caribbean. 3.5 million went to Africa, 650,000 to the Spanish colonies in Central and South America, and 400,000 to North America. A key in the bottom right lists a set of African kingdoms that participated in the selling of enslaved workers, including Benin, the Oyo Empire, Dahomey, the Ashanti Confederacy, the Kingdom of Allada, the Kingdom of Whydah, and the Nupe people. These kingdoms are outlined on the map. A map of eurasia, done to look something like a pirate map with torn and aged edges. The label reads "Trade, Treasures & Shipwrecks in the Medieval World." There five medallions with drawings in them, and arrows leading from them to points on the map. From left to right: 1. A two-masted ship, with the label "Sirçe Limani, 1025." The arrow points to the mediterranean, just off of southwestern Anatolia. 2. A drawing of a jade buddha statue, with the label "Helgo Treasure, 6th C." 3. A drawing of a large oriental-style ship with 3 masts, with the label reading "Shinan Wreck, 14th C.: The arrow points to southwestern Korea 4. A two-masted oriental ship, with a label reading "Quanzhou Wreck, 13th C." The arrow points to the western coast of China. 5. A two-masted ship with the label "Beiltung Wreck, 830." The arrow points to the sea just east of Sumatra. In addition, the map shows lists a number of important medieval trade cities, and red lines showing major trade routes. The Red Sea is colored a dark, rusty red as a tip of the hat to medieval mapmakers. A B&W map of Italy in the 6th century, with a number of cities noted. It is a Surprised Eel map, so there is an eel in the compass rose.

Say you were kidnapped, but allowed to keep posting to pretend things are fine...What's a phrase that screams 'you're not alright' to people that know GIS but your kidnappers don't know you're asking for help.

I'll go first: "ArcMap hasn't crashed all day!" #gischat

ArcMap is finally dead. Why not switch to QGIS instead of ArcGIS Pro?

AHA HELL YESS

I used QGIS a ton during my classes in 2023/2024, and it was great for when I did geological mapping and ontological illustrations of tectonic movement! But for my actual occupation, it's ArcMap.

Yes, ArcMap. Not ArcGIS Pro.

The company's finally switching over, but like, >>

Congratulations to the first ever North Arrow March Madness winner (ArcMap edition): ESRI North 2. Thanks to everyone that participated in this -- it was a blast to get nerdy with north arrows with you. Did your favorite win? What do you think about North 2 winning?
