Beyond ArcGIS Desktop *ArcMapEASING THE TRANSITION TO ARCGIS PRO

Why?

• ArcMap goes into Extended Support in ~ ???

A year ago Feb 2020

Why?

• ArcMap has limited enhancements / bug fixes

• 10.8 updates• six existing GP Tools have new parameters• three new map projections• support for new versions of Oracle and IBMDb2

Why?• ArcGIS Pro is receiving the bulk of ESRI's programming resources

• All webinars, seminars, training, lessons, etc are focused on Pro

• You won’t see ArcMap in esri conference presentations at NEARC, etc

• ArcMap isn’t even in the lineup on the esri web site as a product

3D INTEGRATION

Things I Appreciate• GP History is saved with the project even after you close it

• Symbology and Overall Cartography more robust

• Living Atlas data at fingertips

• Copy and paste everything

• Arcade

• Many more chart options: box plots, data clock, calendar heat chart

• Generate and format reports

• Jupyter notebooks are right inside Pro
