GIS
- Learning the concepts of GIS through Powerpoint and Excel
GIS is a powerful tool that demands consistency and an understanding of
spatial scales, as well as the connection between data tables and the pictures
on the screen.
If you want to create a map of a small area, such as a schoolyard, you may not need GIS. Powerpoint and Excel are programs that
can teach you the interconnectedness of GIS data layers. The following is a tutorial of how to develop a GIS layer and
relate data to the points or polygons.
