Creating map of roadways

Anonymous User

I have been given an excel file with attributes including the coordinates of the beginning of roadways and the ends of those roadways. I have been asked to map out these roadways using the coordinates I have been given and I am supposed to include the other attributes. Any ideas on how I can do this would help, thanks.

That is good then you can use the shortcut tool Adrian suggested.  Hopefully your data are either in decimal degrees or a projected coordinate system.

In either event, you need to define the coordinate system during the process and before you use it in a map.

 

PS

before you ask... you will get straight lines and they won't follow the actual road! 😉
