Line Coverages
•Length automatically calculated
GIS 11
Point Coverages
GIS 12
ArcInfo Coverages
•Advantages-Many feature types-Shared borders-Automatic Area/Perimeter/Length fields
•Disadvantages-Cannot edit in ArcMap
GIS 13
ArcInfo Export files•.e00 export exchange file•ArcCatalog translates into ArcGIS•Creates coverages
GIS 14
ArcView Shape Files
Advantages•heads-up digitizing and editing•less storage/rapid display •can export to CAD
Disadvantages•one feature type•no area or perimeter with new shapefiles
GIS 15
ArcView Shape Files
From 3 to 5 Files•.shp - stores feature geometry•.shx - stores index of features•.dbf - stores attribute data•.sbn and .sbx - store additional indices
GIS 16
ArcView Shapefiles
GIS 17
CAD Files Why CAD Drawings?
• Better Precision for Digitizing -.DWG / .DXF

Map Projections
GIS 25
Map Projections and Distortion
Map projections produce distortion in one or more spatial properties:•Shape, area, distance, and direction•Specific projections eliminate or minimize distortion
GIS 26
Distortion Examples
GIS 27
Mercator Projection: Distortion
GIS 28
Robinson Projection: Distortion
GIS 29
Projection Important•Measurements used to make important decisions•Comparing shapes, areas, distances, or directions of map features
•Feature and image themes are aligned

Projection: MercatorDistance: 3,124.67 miles
Projection: Albers Equal AreaDistance: 2,455.03 miles
Actual distance: 2,451 miles
GIS 30
Projection not Important Business applications
•Not of critical importance. •Concerned with the relative location of different features
On large scale maps - street maps•Distortion may be negligible •Map covers only a small part of the Earth's surface.
GIS 31
Coordinate Systems
GIS 32
Coordinate Systems
•Spherical/Polar-Geographic Coordinate System
• Rectangular-State Plane-UTM
GIS 33
Geographic Coordinate System
• Latitude and Longitude• Census Bureau TIGER files
Geographic Coordinate System Grid
GIS 34
Longitude: Meridians
GIS 35
Latitude: Parallels

GIS 38
Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS):
40°26’2”N latitude
-80°0’58”W longitude
Decimal Degrees (DD)
1 degree = 60 minutes,
1 minute = 60 seconds
40°26’2” =
40 + 26/60 + 2/3600 = 40 + .43333 + .00055 =
40.434°
Pittsburgh’s Point
GIS 39
World circumference through
the poles is 24,859.82 miles,
so for latitude:
1° = 24,859.82/360 = 69.1 miles
1’ = 24,859.82/(360*60) = 1.15 miles
1” = 24,859.82*5,280/(360*3600) = 101 feet
Length of the equator is 24,901.55 miles
Translated to Distance

Rectangular Coordinate Systems
State Plane Coordinates- Local Governments
UTM- US Military
GIS 41
State Plane Coordinate System
•Established by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (now the National Ocean Survey)
•At least one for each state•Rectangular (x,y) coordinates•125 zones, following state and county boundaries each with its own projection:
Lambert conformal projection for zones with east-west extent
Transverse Mercator projection for zones with north-south extent
•Cannot have zones joined to make larger regions

•American Datum of 1983 (NAD83)
•"High Accuracy Reference Network" (HARN)
•"High Precision GPS Network" (HPGN)
GIS 48
•Developed by the NATO in 1947
•Military grid system
•Based on transverse Mercator projection
•Applied to maps of the Earth's surface extending from the Equator to 84 Degrees north and 80 degrees south latitudes
Universal Transverse Mercator System (UTM)

UTM Zones
World is divided into 60 north-south zones, each covering a strip 6° wide in longitude

Census Tracts (TIGER)
Small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of counties
•delineated by local committees in accordance with Census Bureau guidelines
•between 1,000 and 8,000 people (in general)•1,700 housing units or 4,000 people•homogeneous population characteristics (economic status and living conditions)
• normally follow visible features•may follow governmental unit boundaries and other non visible features
• more than 60,000 census tracts in Census 2000

GIS 58
Census Blocks Groups
Block groups (BGs) are the next level below census tracts in the geo-graphic hierarchy
- a subdivision of a census tract
-400 housing units, with a minimum of 250, and a maximum of 550 housing units
-follow clearly visible features, such as roads, rivers, and railroads.
GIS 59
Census Block Groups
GIS 60
Census Blocks
Smallest geographic area for which the Census Bureau collects and tabulates decennial census information.
Block boundaries are visible (street, road, stream, shoreline, etc.) or nonvisible (county line, city limit, property line, etc.) features.
