About the Course

Get started learning about the fascinating and useful world of geographic information systems (GIS)! In this first course of the specialization GIS, Mapping, and Spatial Analysis, you'll learn about what a GIS is, how to get started with the software yourself, how things we find in the real world can be represented on a map, how we record locations using coordinates, and how we can make a two-dimensional map from a three-dimensional Earth. In the course project, you will create your own GIS data by tracing geographic features from a satellite image for a location and theme of your choice. This course will give you a strong foundation in mapping and GIS that will give you the understanding you need to start working with GIS, and to succeed in the other courses in this specialization. This course is for anyone who wants to learn about mapping and GIS. You don't have to have any previous experience - just your curiosity! The course includes both practical software training and explanations of the concepts you need to know to make informed decisions as you start your journey to becoming a GIS analyst. You will need a Windows computer with ArcGIS Desktop installed. (software is not provided)...

This course seems to be a bit old. If we are to be using GIS online that it should be taught from that point of view. I think this needs to be updated.

course is fine, information is laid out nicely. However, the "optional" parts are actually required to 100% the course.

It's a basic course, informative, but too little hands-on work

El curso te obliga a pagar un software que NO esta al alcance de todos en el momento y no te lo dice al momento de estudiarlo

They are out of ArcGIS licenses. It cannot be installed privately as well. They tell this after you purchase the course
