The goal of this lab was to become familiar with using a Trimble Juno GPS device and then transferring this data and using it to create a map using ArcGis.
In this Lab I learned how to use a create a quick project on a Trimble and then using that quick project to map points, lines and polygons. I learned the difference between collecting by marking vertex's and collecting continuously. I became familiar with how to export data from computer to the Trimble and back. I created a geodatabase through ArcCatalog. The processes went as such, I created a new geodatabase and named it wakelikelab3 and added a coordinate system relevant to the map I was going to make, NAD_1983_HARN_Wisconsin_TM I then added 6 feature classes. Points, lines, polygons, practice_points, practice_lines, practice_polygons. After that I imported a shapefile of the buildings on my campus, and a raster image of the campus. I changed the symbols of the practice and normal versions of the feature classes so I could tell the versions apart on the Trimble. After that I added the data through the extensions - ArcPad Data Manager.
After that I went outside to actually collect the data through the Trimble. I then tried to transfer it back to ArcMap I couldn't get the ArcPad Data Manager tool back. But what should have happened is I would transfer it back to ArcMap through the tool manager and then start making the map cartographically pleasing by adding a legend, north arrow, scale, date and source.
