Demystifying Map Projections (1 Day)

The course is designed to provide GIS professionals with practical training in handling coordinate systems (map projections and datums) within industry standard GIS packages.

The course places less emphasis on the mathematical theory of map projections and more on what the GIS professional needs to know in order to handle projections on a day-to-day basis and to be confident that the projection and parameters used are correct. The course is focussed on practicalities such as knowing when a dataset is correctly projected or which projection to choose in a given situation.
