Map Images

The Map Images Tool generates a series of preview images of the data. These images are uploaded to champmonitoring.org and used by watershed managers and program QA leads to assess the quality of the survey and GIS data. Run the Map Images Tool after the data has been completely processed and checked for errors.

  3. Specify the following parameters:

    • Input File Geodatabase: The survey geodatabase that contains the survey data.
    • Output Folder: The Topo folder that contains the survey data.
    • Open Folder?: Indicate if you would like to automatically open the folder once the tool is completed to preview the images.
  4. Click OK to run the tool.
