ArcGIS Pro (available via MU IT Services) will be the main focus of this workshop. It is the premier desktop geographic information system (GIS) application, offering unparalleled tools and capabilities that support your work. Users can maintain spatial data effectively; generate stunning 2D, 3D, and 4D visualizations; and conduct advanced mapping analytics. The seamless data sharing within the ArcGIS system fosters valuable GIS solutions and insights.
GIS or Geographical Information Systems, are online mapping software that allow users to visualise, import and analyse, different layers of data, usually in cartographic form. For most users, its about creating a useful location map, or digitizing your own content onto a background map or mapping relevant data you hold. For other users, who have access to different types of geo-spatial data, it’s more about how to import that data into a GIS and then map it out. GIS has lots of sophisticated analytical tools as well and are also widely connected up to external databases and map services such that much contemporary GIS mapping is web-based.
