Week 2: Own your map

Lab module 2 went a little smoother, less technical issues.  Was able to follow the lab instructions (pretty well). Working with multiple data frames was not as confusing as I anticipated.  I really like the zoom to layer for when I get the layout all kinds of off kilter.  Zoom to worked well on the Florida map putting it right back in the center of the data frame.  Zoom to did not work so well for the Escambia county map.  The map was much too small until the data was clipped to Escambia county and even after that it was just not where I wanted it or the right size.  I did make some progress in looking at metadata.  Publication information and time period is found in the Identification section. Projection and Reference are found in the Spatial Reference section.  Defiantly not an expert, but progress. Clipping data worked exactly as the lab instructions indicated, probably need to do that a few more times.  "Symbology" table was helpful in making decisions (and not getting too creative). Can't forget the Essential Map Elements: title, legend, scale, north arrow, creators name and the date it was created and don't forget the data source information.
