This week's lab was based on learning about projections, and using ArcGIS to reproject a data layer to a common Projected Coordinate System. As the legends for each map indicate, there are slight differences in area between the three projections.
The process of actually making the map was easier this week - practice, practice, practice! My attempt at using Excel to make a chart showing the four area numbers was moderately successful, and certainly neater than using a text box, but lining everything up exactly right eluded me, even after over an hour of fine tuning the font, spacing between numbers, and text size. The blue box wouldn't resize to exactly where I wanted it to go. Still, the numbers do line up and the information is useful.
