The reason why I love ArcGIS

There was a time during by bachelors, I used to make geographic framework manually. The process included tedious geographical calculations, framing a projection, and tracing map with a pantograph. It was a week long exhaustive process. Attached are few of the work sheets I did during bachelors.

Mercator's Projection


Polar Zenithal Equal Area Projection


Bonne's Projections


And now with blessings of ArcGIS, I can do this with click of a button!

  1. Thanks for sharing, very interesting! Everyday I am amazed how EASY ArcGIS makes things and how far GIS technology has come since I started in the field in 1998.
