Mobile Data Collection and GIS Mapping using ArcGIS Pro

Home • Mobile Data Collection and GIS Mapping using ArcGIS Pro

Introduction

Geospatial information systems have become a vital instrument for planning, managing resources, and making informed decisions. The capability of GIS to store, retrieve, analyze, model, and map spatial data has significantly expanded its application. This course aims to provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to utilize GIS tools for visualizing real-world features, exploring spatial data, analyzing maps, communicating information, and facilitating decision-making.
