 ## Step 1: Add layers to your map
 
 With that introduction, you now have the opportunity to start creating your own map. The goal here is to create a map of the bike infrastructure on campus (bike lanes and line, bike racks as points, buildings as polygons) and to then annotate on top of that some of your personal experience as a bicyclist or pedestrian on campus.
 
-Start by opening a new map in the [Map Viewer](https://ucsb.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html){ target="_blank"}.
 
 ### Import lines layer (bike paths)
 
 From the **Layers** panel, click on the add layer button. Search `My organization` for 'UCSB OSM Paths'. There should be only one result.

 ### *Challenge* Import points layer (bike racks)
 
 Repeat the above steps to add the feature layer `bike_racks_ucsb` to your map.

-We will see later how you can leverage those attributes to set the symbology of a layer according to categories or quantities provided by the attribute table. You can also compute new attributes either based on other attributes or geopatial information. However this will be for our second workshop.

 Now that you have added the layers to your map, save it by looking for the folder icon in the left menu bar and then selecting the `Save as` option.
