New from So Cal

MP305 — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 21:13:21 GMT

I am new to the esri site and will be seeking ways to create custom transportation [highway, road, rail, transit] map(s). I will be learning GIS on my own (it is not part of my professional job description) and will seek out ways to create maps.

I'm wondering if there is a "reference" or "library" section, where one can view maps created by others?

Thanks very much. Actually, I did find the Transportation group; that does look like it will eventually be my "go to" place once I become more familiar with the basics (role, etc.).
