I make maps at Esri, a software company for map nerds. But then I'll make videos showing how to make maps. Sometimes videos walking through a whole map project and sometimes little one-minute hacks that you can assemble into your own map treachery. The results aren't always practical but they may have a way of showing you some helpful things along the way, then you'll make the actually-useful stuff. Anyway, thanks for checking out the channel!

Here's my website: adventuresinmapping.com/ Follow my rarely fascinating tweets: twitter.com/John_M_Nelson Bonanza of my maps on insta: instagram.com/johnmnelson/
I am from a city near there and i had a group project in school where me and a group reimagined the hole as a water restort once its filled and someone from the government actually wanted our plans we made, so mabye I could be part of the redesign once they are done
Just amazing. I am very weak in ArcGIS,but I am trying. I have a question. I am preparing a geological Map. Will this Method help me in Separating Rock Unit,? Can I draw contacts of Formations with it?
Hi John! I love your videos. How would I go about adding rivers, lakes, and other water bodies while retaining all of our effects? I would love to see a part two of this where it's at the scale of a town, showing some human geography as well in this storybook style! Thanks for making these awesome videos.
you can also see the effort in re-greening. surface mines in germany are afterwards nature reserves. on the other hand when the green activists are gone they often leave a lot of plastic trash and make the forest look like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie set.
This video is a magnet for ppl living in the region. Like why did this video pop up for me xD My father worked there for 45 years. I stood in there, was unreal. Tho a lot was lost to them digging for coal, housing and lives.. Ppl demonstrate the mine, because they wanted to get rid of a thousand year old forest. They set thing ablaze, to get their point across.( One of my teachers wanted us to participate back then. She chained herself to a tree.) Also rip to that reporter that fell from a tree house. A messy situation.
One last related technique: What if you wanted the same four equal sizes map layout (from the end of the video), but all showing the same view but with different layers activated. Would you need to make four separate maps? 🤔
Great as always. And, since you're gonna rip off your Prof, I should tell you I'm ripping you off. Assigning this and your Map Choreography vids for my AGOL students to build. A lot of great tools and effects in both! But, since they're beginners, I'm redoing this one slowly (heh) and in a little more detail -- showing how to label & round life expectancy numbers. Alas, mine won't be as fun to watch as yours! Thanks!
@@JohnNelsonMaps Wow! That would be outstanding. It's a short (4 week) & fully online class -- maybe 20 students. We don't start until 10/14 but it would be extremely cool if you'd want to do a zoom pep talk or something. I'll talk to the other GIS instructor at our college (Columbia College in Sonora, CA). He'd probably want to have his classes log in as well. I'll talk it over with him and suggest a range of dates if you're still into it and available.I already strongly recommend both your Carto MOOC as well as your & Ken's web sites. (You'd think, gushy fanboy that I am, I'd do better maps...). Anyway, mucho thanks for the offer! I'll get back to you on this.
What a beautiful video. I have been focused on data analysis for quite some time now, and I have become very mechanical in everything I do, and I have forgotten how important the beauty that maps can give us. Greetings from Arequipa-Cayma
@@galletachuma7625 thank you for your encouragement and kind words! I’m so happy you are enjoying the videos. Let me know if there are topics you think would be cool
I love that I found your channel! I'm currently an environmental Spatial Analysis major and I'm going to try and start adding some of your techniques to my labs and projects!
The level of bullshit in this comment section is extreme. There are no ghosts No special weird animals No abondened houses (well not more than usual and everywhere else) There is a restaurant next to the hole, sometimes there are little events. The one big problem with the hole is: When its hot for a few days, and then it rains, your car looks like you drove through sahara. Source: Im living next to the hole.
All Hail the blending Guru, Can you help with a video of overlaying a picture of a Little League Stadium on a vacant parcel to help visualize on arcpro or arconline?
Your vids are epic. How can I slice a profile of a mountain slope along a chosen profile line so that I can draw and show below surface geological features and the morphology on the rest?
I just started using ESRI and I really enjoy watching your videos. I was wondering if the peeled effect is possible to achieve with a dark basemap. I'd love to add this effect to highlight the city I work in and use the image in a PowerPoint presentation that I'm preparing for my department.
Here's a related video where I show you how to link the geographic placement of two different map frames. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5kLxfzJsjWQ.html
Hi thanks a lot for sharing an informative video. Is there any special method for visualizing coastline when dem is not able to show different elevations obviously?!
Here's a blog post with some chapter descriptions and a link to the source data: www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/add-multiple-maps-to-one-layout/
I would like to add one thing, that was the synchronization of the data frames on same scale / zooming level for the last part of the video.... waiting for the new exciting videos. Please share your more videos on professional map series but I also love your vintage map series.
Probably one of the forgotten heroes are the Software developers and product designers, imagine how they considered all of those magical puzzles OMG!, anyway, your such amazing John
What an awesome video-wish I had this back when I took my first Intro to GIS course over a year ago! Really going to be helpful for whatever first time Pro users stumble across it this semester and onwards. Thanks for sharing!
Ease into the Monday morning work week with a John Nelson video? Sweet. I was recently griping to myself about how I wished I could edit vertices in Map Frames... You gave us that, plus circular Map Frames and the Extent Indicator that I didn't know about! I did a deep dive last week with your Layout Sandwich video (masking and neat lines and all), and I pick up so many gems, like the three above, with each video. Thank you very much.
So cool!! I'm mostly self-taught in GIS at my nonprofit job. I've never really had anyone to talk to about mapping or that I could ask questions. I took the basic classes many years ago and I try to take some of the free stuff in the esri catalog every once in a while but that's not nearly the same, and GIS is just one part of my job so I haven't spent much time playing with it. Seeing your videos feels more like having a mentor. There's just so many extras I obviously haven't figured out on my own, and these then inspire me to look for more of my own tricks. Thank you for sharing!!!
@@ava.artemis thanks so much for sharing your experience and encouragement! I’m honored that you’d take the time to let me know and am so happy that these videos are helpful to you!
Brilliant video once again! Thank you for putting this information together. I’m working on a project right now that needs a hard copy map showing the lower 48 with Alaska, and Hawaii. Thanks for making me look like a professional map maker!
