Map Projections Tutorial

Note This section covers questions 1 - 10 in the module quiz.

This map projection tutorial was created by Maya Daurio at the UBC Research Commons. The tutorial has four exercises. Download the data on the exercise page then work through each exercise to get a quick overview of how to work with coordinate systems in ArcGIS Pro.

1) What Coordinate System is my Data in?

  • Learn how to determine the coordinate system of a layer

2) Projecting On-the-Fly

  • Learn how ArcGIS Pro handles layers with different coordinate systems

3) Project Your Data

  • Change the coordinate system of your layer

4) Calculating Population Density

  • See the material impact of different projections
  • Learn how to use Feature Datasets to manage projections
  • Create a field and calculate population density
