I'm trying to create custom symbols for use on a map to denote locations and views of photos taken in the field.<br />
<br />
I've got lat, long and bearing. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What I'd like to do is have markers appear on a map showing the positions where specific photos were taken, based on the lat and long, and a triangle, or arrow showing the bearing...<br />
<br />
I can do this manually, but I'd like to automate it. <br />
<br />
Any suggestions??

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
