In this course, you will learn how to find GIS data for your own projects, and how to create a well-designed map that effectively communicates your message. The first section focuses on the basic building blocks of GIS data, so that you know what types of GIS files exist, and the implications of choosing one type over another. Next, we'll discuss metadata (which is information about a data set) so you know how to evaluate a data set before you decide to use it, as well as preparing data by merging and clipping files as needed. We'll then talk about how to take non-GIS data, such as a list of addresses, and convert it into "mappable" data using geocoding. Finally, you'll learn about how to take data that you have found and design a map using cartographic principles. In the course project, you will find your own data and create your own quantitative map.

Great Course.It helps me to start as a beginner in the field of GIS. All the lectures are precise and full of practical examples.
Prof Don Boyes has made GIS simple. His style of teaching makes it easier to grasp things, especially the puns and the sarcasm.
Thank You Prof. Don Boyes.
Was a real important course and helped to understand the fundamentals and theories behind the GIS and Map design
Mr. Boyes lectures are really informative and how he delivers his speech is a learning lesson for me. Thank you, Sir!
