Potential of GIS
ArcMap is a complex program capable of displaying information in near-infinite variants. This is obvious. Of course, one is limited to the availability of data -- both shapefile data and geocoded data -- and one's ability to effectively use and navigate the program.
As a tool for the arrangement of map elements and arranging completed maps on a larger template (as was done in the exercise), ArcMap is clearly effective and facile.
Pitfalls of GIS
First time ArcMap users are at a disadvantage using the program in which inattention to a mouse click can change the onscreen display to such a degree that one's previous work can be lost or seemingly so. I look forward to further use of the program gaining familiarity with it, in order to minimize these anxieties.
