Create and configure a map that includes the feature layer and can be used offline in ArcGIS Field Maps to collect data. Add appropriate metadata to all items. \n- Collect sample data, including positional accuracy information for each sample. \n- Add the sample data to a map along with reference data from an authoritative open data source. Create buffers around collected point data to illustrate positional accuracy. \n- Present the results in a story map that describes the data collection process and includes maps and charts to show the positional accuracies and a preliminary analysis of the data.\n\n##And by reflecting on the entire process by:\n\nCompleting a reflective essay with prompting options from the instructor."},"type":["Achievement"],"inLanguage":"en","description":"This badge is awarded to learners who have demonstrated the ability to work with geospatial data,  find reliable geospatial data and use Esri software to collect, edit, and share data in various formats for a variety of applications.","alignment":[{"targetDescription":"Mandated by the Government of Ontario.
