About this workshop
In this workshop we will be making a migration map in ArcGIS Pro.
Is it important that we all make a dynamite animal migration map? No way. What this is really about is sneaking in a bunch of independently practical tips and tricks for working with publicly available data, cartographic design, and layouts.
What happens if you don't finish in the workshop's allotted time? You almost certainly won’t, but no problem; you'll have a document with all the steps and links so you can work on it later at your convenience.
Will you learn a lot? I don't know, but I'm confident you'll learn at least a little.
Do you need ArcGIS Pro? That’s what I’ll use and what the document is written for. But you can certainly use something else and get a similar result.
Will you have fun? That's entirely up to you but I'll be having fun and I hope you successfully convince yourself later that you had fun.
Should you deviate from the tutorial and try different data sources and cartographic symbology and creative alternative layout arrangements? Sure! Gosh, that would be cool, just know that going off road has its own risks like getting lost or rolling over. But that's when we learn the most. Bring your own software (whatever it may be). There aren't any special ArcGIS extensions or advanced license types required.
