Feedback on my land-cover map?

I've been working on some smallish projects that I can eventually add to my portfolio when I apply for internships next summer. Is there anything I can improve? Are there any other good project ideas I could work on that would look good in a portfolio? I have decent proficiency in Python and SQL, so I'd like to utilize them as well, not sure how though.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated :)

How are you guys using AI to build/improve/accomplish things?

Fairly straight forward. Does anyone here have any great use cases for Claude, copilot, or chat gpt in your day to day arcpro work?

I work in utilities and am usually just enhancing point data or making polygons for maps and other reporting.

Organizing Feature Layer Symbology

Hey guys, I am trying to create a map for a customer that wants a lot of data on it. While they have been told it's a lot, they still want it all on there. I am trying to find/remember how to create flagpoles and leader lines for different feature layers so it looks a bit more neat instead of a bunch of symbols on top of each other where you can't tell them apart.

Any ideas? I saw one where someone just offset them and then drew a bunch of lines to make the leader lines and flagpoles but that seems a bit tedious of a way to do it. Also this is all on Arc Pro.

Macbook Pro 2019 Can't Run ArcGIS: Looking For a Ryzen or Intel Laptop Upgrade

MAKE SURE YOU PUT BUDGET RANGE & COUNTRY IN YOUR TITLE

The Form

-fill in by replacing text in and removing the square brackets to answer-

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

  • Australia

to buy from Australia preferably

  • $2000 AUD (1420 USD) Will consider going higher if necessary

  • Are you open to refurbs/used options?

no

  • Screen size

13-15"

  • Weight limit

Whatever not an issue

  • Purpose

ArcGIS and Qgis

  • Form factor

Standard or gaming maybe?

  • Intended usage

As I mentioned earlier my partner needs to move into arcgis and unfortunately her macbook pro doesn't run the desktop version. That is the main intention/requirement of the laptop and I am not heavily educated on what kind screen, or vram this program might require for high performance so if anyone has experience that would be appreciated.

  • Desired battery life

Not a huge deal. I would build a desktop PC but i want her to be able to have it portable for any future job opportunities or if she wants to work from the library or cafe's.

  • Performance is the most important factor probably followed by screen type for arcgis but i don't think that will matter much. We have a 4k hp420 monitor too. Battery and size can be compromised.
  • Info/Requirements

I have built aPC with a Ryzen cpu and Nvidia gpu so I would prefer that route of hardware just because i understand it. IF there's something much better price-wise with intel or amd etc please include it in your recommendations!

Thanks a lot legends!

Buying a Laptop for GIS

I am starting a degree course in GIS in the fall and for this course I will be required to have a laptop that can run ArcPro, Anaconda, QGIS, etc. quickly and process large quantities of data.

Does anyone have any laptop recommendations? I could build my own, or buy new or used, but am obviously going for the best balance of performance and affordability.

how to replicate this display?

Hi, does anyone know how to export an image of the raster layers like the left side, where layers are stacked horizontally? I need to display my layers like this so that they don't occupy much space in the paper I'm writing.

For the arrow and right map, I could just manually compose those images, but if there's a method to create the entire image in one ArcGIS tool, it'd be great.

Autocad shape source or .dwg polygon layer to esri shapefile?

This new engineering company i am working with sent me a dwg file and an autocad shape source file with a bunch of items from autocad. I isolated the building footprint polygon shape which is the only thing i need. Ive reprojected it and published it as an hosted feature layer and nothing ive tried gets the polygon to move from Africa (not near null island) to where it should be in FL. I need to take the layer out in the field w me on field maps

Any suggestion to get this to work? The source properties do not look right at all and idk where to begin to rectify this. I cant really georeference the polygon since there arent monuments on the aerial i can reference too, its all vegetation in the footprint on the aerial

Please help, i would be so grateful

Sincerely,

An environmental consultant in FL trying to save the birds and critters :)

Labelling Single Points With Multiple Attributes #2

Taking this to reddit again because I have had some improvement since I last asked questions on here. I've studied a bit of vbScript and here are the lines of code that I came up with.

Function FindLabel ( [Station], [Parameter], [V], [SD_V], [BL_V] )
Dim strColor
Dim strClose

strClose = "</CLR>"
If [SD_V] > 0 And [BL_V] > 0 Then
strColor = "<CLR red='0' green='180' blue='0'>"
ElseIf [SD_V] > 0 Or [BL_V] > 0 Then
strColor = "<CLR red='255' green='200' blue='0'>"
ElseIf [SD_V] < 0 And [BL_V] < 0 Then
strColor = "<CLR red='255' green='0' blue='0'>"
Else
strColor = "<CLR red='255' green='140' blue='0'>"
End If

FindLabel = _
strColor & _
[Station] & " | " & _
[Parameter] & ": " & [V] & _
vbNewLine & _
"SD: " & [SD_V] & _
" | BL: " & [BL_V] & _
strClose

End Function

My problem now is that this code only returns the first row of my data (and occasionally more??? depending on how much I zoom in or out or if I'm lucky, as seen in the picture attached). What do I add to this code so it returns all the rows?????

Open source AGO alternative I've been building. Demo is up if anyone wants to poke around.

Hey all. I've been working on a free open source alternative to AGO on the side. It's called GratisGIS. Demo at https://gratisgis.org with three sign in accounts on the landing page (admin, contributor, viewer). It resets every night so don't worry about breaking things.

This is a one man show. I'm a single dad with a full time job, so I work on this at nights, on weekends, and over lunch breaks. It's a passion project, not a company. Plenty of bugs I haven't found yet since I haven't fully tested everything end to end. Be aware.

Looking for feedback and constructive criticism, anything is welcome. I'll follow up with more detailed posts on specific features later.

How to learn ArcGIS Pro for someone who barely uses it?

Context: I am an entry level AutoCAD drafter and occasionally am involved in projects on ArcGIS Pro. I probably have less than 40 hours of experience in ArcGIS Pro in the last 8 months at this job.

I learned AutoCAD very quickly but whenever I am given a project involving ArcGIS Pro, which is only every couple months, I completely have to relearn software. It's been causing me a lot of frustration and leaving me feeling very incompetent when I have to ask a coworker to teach me how to do the basics every couple months.

I was asked to start a new project from scratch after never doing this before, only shadowing someone else do it. When I was shown in the past, I just watched as they set up the entire map, coordinate system, georeferenced a drawing we were working off of, and then set up all the feature classes, domains, fields, and symbology. From there I just drew stuff basically. Today while trying to do all this setup on my own, I did not have the faintest idea what I was doing and seeking help was not an option due to a massive conference, so I got nowhere. Nothing about this software is intuitive to me so as someone who usually can figure things out and pick things up easily, this has been driving me insane. I just want to be able to work independently when I have to use this software.

Oblique Imagery Help

Hey everyone, I'm working on sourcing SB 721 leads across Southern California — specifically trying to identify multifamily buildings with exterior elevated elements like balconies, exterior walkways, and deck structures. The problem I'm running into is that to properly pre-qualify these buildings visually before burning skip trace credits, I really need oblique imagery — the angled aerial photography that actually shows you the side of a building rather than just the rooftop. Platforms like Nearmap and Pictometry are the gold standard for this but the licensing cost for regional coverage across LA, Orange, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties is running $10,000–$25,000, which doesn't make sense for a lead generation use case. I've already tried Google Street View and Google Maps 45° imagery and coverage is way too patchy — especially on the secondary and tertiary streets where most of the 3–8 unit wood-frame stock from the 1960s–80s actually sits, which is exactly the inventory I'm targeting.

The core problem is that county assessor data and property APIs can confirm unit count and ownership, but nothing in my current stack can tell me whether a building actually has qualifying EEEs without someone physically driving by or paying for imagery I can't justify at this stage. Does anyone know of alternatives — whether that's a lower-cost oblique imagery provider, a per-area-of-interest pricing model, AI tools that can classify building features from whatever imagery is available, or any other creative approach people have used to visually pre-qualify multifamily buildings for EEE identification at scale in SoCal?

Also — long shot but if anyone has an existing Nearmap or Pictometry subscription they're not fully utilizing and would be open to sharing access or credentials, I'd love to work something out. Happy to compensate or collaborate. Any direction at all would be really appreciated.

Network Error

What is this error and why is it happening. Started last week and I can't fix it. This is when I try to export a file or select the destination folder for a new map project. When I try to export a .lyrx file it just crashes. I have the latest version and the latest NET software (10,0). Talk to me like an export I've been working in arc for more than a decade and this is the first error I can not solve on my own.

UNC Paths Coerced to Drive Paths

My team runs a number of automated ETL and publishing workflows using arcpy and ArcGIS Pro. We've noticed a change in behavior as we're upgrading from Pro 3.3.2 to 3.5.6. Specifically, we have configured a number of Pro projects with data sources set to a local UNC path (e.g. \\mapping-machine.domain\D\Data) as opposed to a drive path (e.g. D:\Data). We do this because many of our jobs are triggered from other VMs and maintaining the UNC path avoids those data sources from breaking. The change in behavior that we've noticed is that, if a project is saved from that other VM, those paths are coerced to D:\Data in that project and subsequent jobs will fail because of those broken data sources.

Has anyone either run into this issue or developed a workaround?

help for the love of God. So I have three environmental monitoring stations S1,2, and 3, and I want to display like 8-10 data of parameters for each station but no matter whatever combination of settings I try, there is always something that gets overlapped/straight up doesn't show up at all. Is there a way around this issue? I would be dealing with this data on a monthly period and thus would prefer something that I can at least semi-automate using modelbuilder, i.e. I have the SQL query done to separate the coloring of the labels but the placement... I have no idea how to deal with that. I'm a beginner so any insights would be much appreciated.
