Explore the world of spatial analysis and cartography with geographic information systems (GIS). In this class, you will learn the beginner GIS techniques using applications such as QGIS or ArcGIS. These applications runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and Android and supports numerous vector, raster, and database formats and functionalities.
Geographical Information System (GIS) is widely used as a valuable tool for management, analysis and presentation of various and great volumes of data, as well as different local planning activities.
About this Course
