Remote Sensing: Challenge 1: ERDAS Map Composition

http://students.uwf.edu/dwr6/Challenge1.xps

This is Challenge 1 for Remote Sensing and Photointerpretation class at UWF GIS online certification. I have produced this map in ERDAS. It is a image of the Pensicola area in NW Florida. I have highlighted the Naval Air Station in the SE region of the image and circle and labeled it. I also included the basic map design requirements of a neatline, a North arrow, and Scale Bar. I tried for very long to add a legend but with no success. I kept getting an error message " no Psuedo-color in selected region" Huhh?? I guess since we have to add the elements to the ovr. file extension and not the image itself that is why this might be occurring.

I had many problems with ERDAS this week. As with all new software, you must dredge through the learning process. I have lots of trouble with Adobe Illustrator in the beginning as well. However, after much practice I began to see the advantages of Adobe. I hope the ERDAS is the same.

Challenge 1: ERDAS Map Composition

This is the first challenge exercise in the summer term for Remote Sensing and Photo Interpretation. We were required to compose a map in map view in ERDAS software provided by UWF GIS online certification program. I included all of the elements required. I included a neatline, North arrow, and Scale bar. I could not add a legend although I tried for hours. I kept getting a error message stating the was no psuedo color for selected frame. HUHH???

I think the that ERDAS is a very challenging software package. As of right now I do not see any advantages over ArcMap and ArcCatalog. However, as with Adobe Illustrator I had many problems at first but with practice I began to see the advantages and I know that this will be the same for ERDAS.
