Overview:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) uses data that has often been collected or compiled for cartographic purposes. As a result, some critical cartographic issues must be considered when dealing with GIS data and products. You gain a thorough assessment of map projections and coordinate systems and their significance when working with spatial data. You also learn about cartographic design principles to provide the tools to develop meaningful map products that accurately and effectively communicate present data information.

This course is part of the GIS Professional Certificate and the GIS Technical Certificate.

Who Should Attend?
Anyone using GIS or newly introduced to the technology. Anyone involved in the publication of products from spatial data and analysis will also benefit.
Prerequisites:
Introduction to GIS Software: ESRIs ArcGIS 9.x or competency with ESRIs ArcGIS 9.x (GIST7000T).
