Overview
Extend what you learned in Introduction to ArcGIS I with further exploration of ArcMap and ArcCatalog. This course focuses on spatial analysis, automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display. A portion of the class is reserved for carrying out an analysis project and applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Participants conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a hard-copy map.
