Introduction to Desktop Mapping,
Using MapInfo
ILGARD offers a three-day "hands-on" computer mapping
course using MapInfo for Windows. The workshop provides a
basic introduction to computer mapping and geographic
information systems (GIS). GIS is a computer software
system used to create, manipulate, analyze and plot a variety
of map-related data. MapInfo can also be used to map flood
potential, roads, bridges, lead paint contamination, demographic
statistics and population densities.
Workshop attendees should be familiar with and comfortable
using Microsoft Windows since this workshop is an introduction
to computer mapping, not computers.
