Using ArcGIS as a site planning tool

Please see the attached article on the use of an ArcGIS tool for aiding in site planning for potential Motus station sites. Our Northeast Motus Collaboration has relied on this tool as part of our site planning process since 2020.

Feel free to email if you are interested in utilizing this tool for your motus work.

Thanks for this Jon. This is great for pre-planning if you have ArcGIS in your office.

I have also started using CalTopo in the field. You may have to have a certain paid membership level, but you can do viewshed on your phone and see them in the field.

Hi Jon,

Looks nice. Is there also a Qgis option in the work? It looks great!
