I've been doing editing for years now, and this was a masterclass of all of the little tips and tricks of good editing practice that I've picked up over the years. I will definitely be recommending this to people in the future when asked about editing data, a true gift to the GIS community!
I always used split to cut out inlands inside polygons and then delete them. Now I know there is quicker method. Thx John. There is always something to uncover in GIS.
I have used the reshape feature but never explored the streaming and generalize feature, thank you John for introducing so many new tools and techniques!!
thanks Jeff! i liked your recent video about UC hotelling. gave me butterflies just thinking about the UC this far out. last week i had a stress dream where i had back to back presentations on opposite sides of the convention center (which has happened) and i got lost (also has happened, but not at the same time).
If OpenStreetMap isn’t to your liking, you can always make it better. That’s the whole point of OpenStreetMap! Either way, another great tutorial. Thanks John!
thanks! yes, i totally get it. though OSM doesn't want me checking in bonkers scale polygons. but they are often an excellent start for bonkers scale polygons.
Really enjoyed the video! Loved the sporadic sidenotes with tidbits of knowledge about the river, and your way of stylizing maps is really inspiring me to experiment more with map stylization!
So helpful, thank you! Work on several maps for nature preserves and making polygons for rivers have always been a rough task. This will help be greatly.
Nice simple tutorial - for people who really want to be particular about the shorelines, they can delve into the world of bare earth lidar data sets, I've found them very helpful for locating shorelines and roadways in heavily forested areas
I’m really excited about this! I hope my Esri Story Map project wins so I can meet you in San Diego. I focused my project on Puerto Rico, and I absolutely love it! Fingers crossed that the Stanford judges will love it too.
thanks! yes, i do! here's a thing about the bridges: instagram.com/p/DDPfx4TREzq/ and here's how the trees are made: th-cam.com/video/sy3Rerl05yg/w-d-xo.html
Do you recognize my mystery host replacement? If so, begin your comment with your answer.
Lisa! I used to autocross in the same region as her. No only does she kill it with GIS, she is fast in a car!
@@stevestrand4819 rock! yeah, Lisa is a race car driver. full of mysteries, that one.
Another 10 minute masterclass of cartographic goodness 👌
thanks Daniel!

lovely! thanks so much, Lucius!

yeah, i just recently learned these tools. was amazed at how fast it made digitizing.
I have used the reshape feature but never explored the streaming and generalize feature, thank you John for introducing so many new tools and techniques!!
you bet! i'm reasonably new to them, myself, having always digitized the hard way one click at a time.
Congrats on leaving the Symbology Pane and diving into the Edit Tab and the Modify Features pane. Bonus points for the Q-Bert Easter egg.

Delta Mills Park getting some airtime! Thank you for making learning a joy!
you know Delta Mills??
Your videos helped me get through my geomatics studies. They're awesome! Best regards from Germany!
that's amazing to hear! thanks for the encouragement.

ah, wonderful! i'd love to see some of your work.
Exactly what I need to make some supporting maps for my Master Thesis !! Thank you so much
ah, perfect!
Como siempre, muchas gracias! Lo único que puedo decir es que soy de la grandiosa escuela de John Nelson! Saludos desde Colombia, profesor!
¡Y el precio es justo! ¡Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario!
You can also click "C" on your keyboard to allow for easy panning while digitizing.
brilliant! thank you for the tip, i didn't know it!
Nice simple tutorial - for people who really want to be particular about the shorelines, they can delve into the world of bare earth lidar data sets, I've found them very helpful for locating shorelines and roadways in heavily forested areas
ah, this is a great idea! i wish i'd thought of it! will definitely try it out.
I’m really excited about this! I hope my Esri Story Map project wins so I can meet you in San Diego. I focused my project on Puerto Rico, and I absolutely love it! Fingers crossed that the Stanford judges will love it too.
good luck! i hope you make it there, it's an amazing week. please find me and say hi if you do!
As always you have gave me some many great ideas, thanks!
fantastic! thanks for the encouragement!
I love your videos John. I learn lots. Thx
thank you! that's great to hear, i appreciate your encouragement
Beautiful
thanks!
Thank you so much for these amazing tips, love from Pakistan.
@@wali5534 thanks Wali!
The GenXer in me so appreciates the Spinal Tap reference.
well, it's 1 louder, isn't it?
@@JohnNelsonMaps For when you need that extra push over the (cartographic )cliff!
Great tutorial
thank you!
Nice video, thanks
@@abomosa101 thanks!
Freakin' masterclass sir. Thank you!
thanks Randy!
this is so cool! do you have a tutorial on how to symbolize the bridges and trees you have at the very beginning of the video?
thanks!
yes, i do! here's a thing about the bridges: instagram.com/p/DDPfx4TREzq/
and here's how the trees are made: th-cam.com/video/sy3Rerl05yg/w-d-xo.html
@ awesome thanks so much!
Amazing work, I like to watch your video. best regards from Iraq
thanks Ahmed!
He's done it again.
😂
"Just keep draggin' and scrollin'"
Time for a new motivational poster.
i'm picturing a pug on a rug
Awesome
thanks!
Hello, Very cleaver video! Does anyone know how to create the symbology he used for the bridges? Thank you
thanks! here is a small thing about the bridges: instagram.com/p/DDPfx4TREzq/
The USA wetlands layer is another place you can go to find wetlands polygons. They're hand drawn.
ah, great thank you Brendan!
@JohnNelsonMaps No Problem! I'm a little biased I suppose. This video essentially describes what I do at work all day.
is nice :)
thank you Riley!
First Comment!
you've won this time, Stevens. but there will come a day when even the most eagle-eyed of your ilk will miss out on first comment!
Not John - for whatever reason I thought I'd check back the most awesome Geo Snaps ... but no .... hrm......
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
