11. AGX will compute the directions between the two places and highlight
its chosen “fastest path” in green. Examine the route and the two
locations, then answer Questions 15.8, 15.9, and 15.10.
Question 15.8 Is the Hollywood Bowl within a one-mile radius of
Grauman’s Chinese Theatre?
Question 15.9 What is the driving distance between Grauman’s Chinese
Theatre and the Hollywood Bowl?
Question 15.10 Without transcribing directions, what is the “fastest route”
to go from one location to the other?
Closing Time
AGX has a lot of other features beyond these, including several other tools
and other types of base data and imagery you can stream off the Internet.
Additionally, other geospatial data sources such as rasters, shapefiles, and
geodatabases (see Chapter 5), KMZ files (see Chapter 14), and GPS data (see
Chapter 4) can be added as separate GIS layers.
At this point you can exit AGX by selecting Exit ArcGIS Explorer from the
options found in pressing the Explorer button in the upper left-hand corner
of AGX and say goodbye to labs for the rest of the book.
