Practicum 1 Journal 3 - November 25, 2013 - Learning to map

So today I got to try something that is similar to Google Maps. It is called ArcGIS. Cities such as Vancouver have been using it for a while now and have set it up with all of the crazy expensive addons. The one I was using is technically the minimal version that they had purchased, but they have been integrating it with almost every system they have, and if it isn't hooked up to it, it is probably in the works. It is really cool, I was even able to look at where the fibre lines were laid under the streets connecting the city buildings together. So we will see what they are wanting me to do tomorrow.
