Use of Geotagged Photos, Data Driven Pages and Dynamic Text in Arcgis 10.1

This document discusses using geotagged photos, data driven pages, and dynamic text in ArcGIS 10.1 for mapping sign locations in Los Angeles County. It describes how a geotagged photo tool was used to geocode sign location photos without GPS since the locations were only known by memory. It then explains how data driven pages and dynamic text can be used to automatically generate map books and update page content based on feature attributes. Grid and strip map tools are demonstrated for creating index layers to divide maps into pages for data driven pages.

Sign locations known by one
person by memory!!!
Initial step: map locations
No handheld GPS devices
Blackberry County phones
GeoTagged Photos
Future: use mobile GIS to
assess sign condition
GeoTagged Photos To Points Tool
Reads the longitude,
latitude, and altitude
coordinate information
from JPEG and TIFF photo
files with valid Exif
(exchangeable image file
format) metadata
Writes these coordinates
and associated attributes to
an output point feature
class
Adds images to features in
the output feature class as
geodatabase attachments
GeoTagged Photos To Points Tool

Tool creates geodatabase table and relationship class


What are Data Driven Pages?
Create a series of layout
pages from a single map
document
A feature layer, or index
layer, divides the map
into sections
Generates one page per
index feature
Why use Data Driven Pages?
Increase:
Efficiency
Productivity
Mastery of ArcGIS
Probability of
promotion!
Free time to text
Build a Map Book
In order to use Data
Driven Pages to build a
map book you need to
use Arcpy.mapping
Arcpy.mapping is a
Python scripting
module that is part of
the ArcPy site package

Strip Map Index Features

You may want to create Data Driven Pages, based on a route, such as a
highway, or along a river as seen in the strip map example below.

changes based on
the current
properties of the
map document, data
frame, and Data
Driven Page.

Seven Types of Dynamic Text
Code Description
1. Computer (<dyn type ="computer"/>) 1. Returns the name of the machine
currently viewing
2. User (<dyn type ="user"/>) 2. Returns the name of the current
login the map
3. Returns the current date and has a
3. Date (<dyn type ="date"/>) default format of MM/dd/yyyy
(example: 01/01/1001)
4. Time (<dyn type ="time"/>) 4. Returns the current time and has a
default format of hh:mm tt
(example: 01:17 PM)
5. Document (<dyn type ="document"/>)
5. Returns property values of the map
document
6. Data frame (<dyn type ="dataframe"/>) 6. Returns property values of the
specified data frame
7. Page (<dyn type ="page"/>) 7. Returns property values of the
map's Data Driven Pages, if enabled
