    365 Ways to Make Maps
    Nov 12 2024
    This episode of the Spatial Report will focus on two ArcGIS products designed to make your GIS workflows easier. First, your hosts Maggie Samson and Mark Ho go beyond your typical spreadsheets, charts and graphs by learning how to create maps with ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 with our resident super fan, Mike Gregotski. Then our ArcGIS Online GeoGeek, Brandon Wheatley, will help us make changes to our data with ArcGIS Web Editor. Rundown 0:00 – Introduction 1:22 – What’s Making Us Mappy 5:24 – Inside the Arc: ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 17:17 – The GeoGeeks: ArcGIS Web Editor 28:13 – M versus M What's Making Us Mappy - Our hosts share one cool thing that is catching their eye in the world of ArcGIS Mark is excited that GIS Day in Canada (November 19) and GIS Day (November 20) are fast approaching. These days highlight all the great work our user community is doing using GIS to solve real-world problems. The Esri Canada event will feature Dianne Whelan as our keynote speaker – she traversed the entire length of the Trans Canada Trail! Incredible! GIS Day in Canada will also feature three esteemed members of this podcast! Alison O’Brien, Sue Enyedy, and our co-host Maggie Samson will present technical topics to close out the big day. Maggie returns to her roots (sort of) as she shouts out the Esri Support AI Chatbot. That’s right! More AI. This time it’s here to help our users find answers to many of their technical questions. The technical support team created this chatbot to allow you to ask conversation questions to help initially guide them in the right direction, providing answers and links to Esri content including documentation and blogs. It’s now available on the Esri website or via the Esri Support App. And yes, it’s available to both our French and English users (40 languages in fact). It may not solve everything difficult problem, but this is a fantastic tool to get your discovery journey started. Inside the Arc - Feature interview that takes our audience inside an Esri product or capability We use Microsoft 365 all the time as a part of our daily workflows: from building spreadsheets in Excel, managing content with SharePoint, and collaborating with our co-workers on Teams. But did you know you can bring these business apps to life by adding interactive maps? Incorporating ArcGIS intelligence inside Microsoft has never been simpler. To tell us more about how to connect Microsoft software with Esri’s mapping capabilities, we are joined by our colleague Mike Gregotski. He’s plugged into the world of ArcGIS for Microsoft 365. The GeoGeeks - Rotation of Esri Canada panelists share what's new in ArcGIS technology Recently Esri introduced the ArcGIS Web Editor, a web-based tool enabling GIS data editing and maintenance in a simple-to-use interface. Performing common spatial and attribute edits through a browser opens new doors as you can create and modify your authoritative data from anywhere. And it’s available for both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise users. Brandon Wheatley, our ArcGIS Online GeoGeek, gives us an overview of this editing app, including some new features coming to the editor in upcoming releases. M versus M - Our hosts quiz each other about all things ArcGIS and GIS Maggie leads this edition of the geography game show with the most. And this time she reflects on her recent vacation to Ireland! She bombards Mark with questions about filming locations for movies and TV shows on the Emerald Isle. Of course, Mark has no clue about anything Irish or entertainment, but he does attempt to guess as best he can.
