ArcView also provides tools for creating your own digital map features, building tabular databases, and integrating imagery. Students can
create statistical data from sources such as the daily newspaper, annual reports, or their own field research with global positioning system
(GPS) units. They can join new information to existing geographic shapes such as countries, state outlines, or GPS points.
