A work-in-progress map of the Forests in the lower US. I haven't decided if I am going to display and label the National Parks and/or Forests yet. Things get pretty busy on the West Coast.

The legend is going to be a nightmare and I am not looking forward to it. πŸ˜‚

Where does South Jersey start and does Central Jersey exist? You decide. Draw a line on our map where you think the North-South divide is.

Where do South and Central Jersey end? Here are the averages according to a Philly Inquirer quiz. You can put it your 2 cents but you can't bend the line. Also, you may need a subscription.

Would be better if they found cities w similar climates. I doubt that Milan and Dunedin have the same kind of temperatures

Seriously, there’s a bug in Ex B where you can only make one or two edits to a script. After that you have to rebuild the whole thing. I confirmed this w Esri tech support

One of the skills should be to not kill somebody when you try to make a simple change to an Arcade script (like change a name) and you get "Invalid Arcade script" every time.

The coordinates are 42.32507449769887, -71.23878654131148 It does not show up on Google Maps and the pond is suffering from eutrophication some some other maps like Mapbox only show it partially. I might need to update the City's basemap, unless they're planning on dredging it.
