III. a. i. Add the table of geographic coordinates
Estimated time:
1 minutes
Now that the map organization and aesthetics are complete, we need to address the proposed problem. Imagine that we have conducted a survey and obtained latitude and longitude coordinates for our route’s corners (and created a text file). We must import this data into your ArcMap program
In this exercise, you will:
- Explore import options
- Import a text file
- Convert the text file into a table
Text Version:
- Left Click the “Add Data” button in the “Standard” toolbar
- Navigate to the downloaded “Possible Routes” folder
- Select the route you want by left clicking it
- Press the “Add” button
(Note: The layers menu view has changed. If you look at the bottom of the menu, source is tabbed. You need to be here to view the table for your route.)
