Have you come across any especially good tutorials? ... View more

Thank you so much. That is actually the part that I wasn't liking on my current project - I am not confident in what I have done as far as data management, file naming, etc. goes. ... View more

Thanks, everyone. I am currently looking for a good tutorial/information source and will probably just start over, as I am not confident or happy with what I have done thus far. ... View more

I hate saying this - but I don't follow. ._. EDIT/ADD: I'm even still trying to figure out how to re-do a buffer without starting over. ... View more

This is a terribly dumb question, but need to make certain before I hand this in - I'm trying to create buffers around points that encircle everything within 1000' of the point. If I plot a point on the map, and then create a buffer @ 1000', am I doing this correctly? I created this buffer for each point on my map, but when I used the "measure tool", the distance from my point to the outer edge of the buffer was ~1200 feet? Am I missing something? ... View more

Added descriptions and exported the point data again, this time the packaging was successful! Going to try and upload to arcgis online to share. Yes! ... View more

Attaching two screen shots - one is of the messages I got when I exported to a package (didn't notice the first time) and the other is a shot of how it looks when my package is displayed - missing the actual points. ... View more

When I export to .pdf, my radius's show up, but not my actual points. I exported as an arcmap package, and the same problem exists. I do have a red next to my layer for points on the left sidebar as well. However, the map I am working from in arcmap displays them fine. hmm. ... View more

Possibly, I think my boss may wat something interactive where she could scroll around and whatnot. But a large .pdf could be useful too. ... View more

Okay, so, I deleted everything I had previously done, and started anew this morning. I managed to get all my points onto the map, with their radius as well! I can have the label (name of business) pop up too, although since I have ~350 points, it's almost illegible. Next question - I want to share this map. How can I do that and allow them scroll-ability? (tired and can't english today haha) Is that possible? I was able to export as jpg which was not much more than a screen shot. Thanks again! ...

I'd like to thank all of you for your help, I really appreciate it! Steven Graf logged onto my machine and showed me my errors - I was in fact using the wrong coordinate system, among a few other things. ... View more

Seriously? That would be amazing if you could. but no worries if not. I can't imagine this is very fin for anyone. I have an excel sheet with lat & long that I'm working from. (The sheet only has ~6 on it right now, I didn't want to put them all into a sheet if I couldn't figure out how to make it work) Should I have the "label" information  in that sheet as well? Ideally I'd like to wind up with a map showing locations, with a 1000ft radius, and their business names. I also have the addresses. ... View more

When I just put a pin on the map, I'm able to get the radius to show up fine, I just can't seem to import my addresses. ... View more

So, I made an excel sheet with two columns - one latitude and one longitude. saved as a .csv. added it to arcmaps, and then right-clicked to display XY Data....none of my points show up when I do that. 😕 Also, how would I go about giving these points "names" that display on the map, assuming I can get them to show up? ...
