Course Project: AT209 Lab 06 ArcGIS Earth

I. Intro

Date: 10/21/2021

In this lab, we are going to learn how to use ArcGIS Earth and how it is related to the UAS mission planning. ArcGIS Earth is a map software that can be very useful for UAS operators. The built-in functions, such as Draw, Measure, interactive Analysis, and map type, help the flight crew to learn about the site condition before departure. It contains the terrain information not only the latitude and longitude but also the elevation of every piece of land on Earth.
