Chapter 8 Getting There Quicker with Geospatial Technology
Question 8.10 How many libraries are within 2 miles of Atlantic Avenue?
Which libraries are these?
3. Clear the selected features from the roads and libraries and then select
all road segments with their name equal to ‘Virginia Beach.’ This will
select the segments that comprise Virginia Beach Boulevard, a major
east-west corridor that runs through the center of Virginia Beach from
the oceanfront on the east straight through into Norfolk on the west.
4. Next, use Select By Location to find all library points within 2 miles of
the selected road segments of Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Question 8.11 How many libraries are within two miles of Virginia Beach
Boulevard? Which libraries are these?
5. Clear all selected features and build a final query to select all road
segments with their name equal to ‘Independence.’ This will select all
the segments that comprise Independence Boulevard, a key north-south
road in the middle of Virginia Beach.
6. Next, use Select By Location to find all library points within 2 miles of
the selected road segments of Independence Boulevard.
Question 8.12 How many libraries are within two miles of Independence
Boulevard? Which libraries are these?
Closing Time
This lab demonstrated several types of features associated with geospatial
network data, including calculating a shortest path, geocoding, and using
geocoded results in conjunction with a road-network file in GIS. Chapter 9
will switch gears and introduce some new concepts dealing with remote sensing of Earth (and the roads built on top of it).
