This exercise in creating a Map Package and sharing it at ArcGIS Online turned out to be fairly simple and straightforward. The ESRI course that explains it was very helpful. I'm impressed by some of the clever features of the mapping software, for example, the option of displaying the map at a detailed or generalized scale. The ability to upload it into ArcGIS online is impressive.
One of the biggest lessons learned this week in Intro to GIS: If all else fails, read the instructions. You have to read through ALL the directions at the beginning, REALLY carefully. We also gained valuable experience in the realities of dealing with glitches in software, and conflicts between various platforms and software packages.  |
This is the Map Package summary for Yosemite rock climbing site data.
It includes only the point data for the climbing sites. A raster base map layer
can be added once you download this data.

This is the Map Package summary for the Aguirre Springs, NM, ponderosa
pine tree study area. The package includes only the stream drainage linear vector data
and the location data (points) for the individual trees. A raster base map layer can be added.
