When Geographic Information Systems (GIS) meet some of the world’s most exciting web-mapping technology, such as Google Maps, you get richer, more interactive maps and better insights into your data. GIS on the web means using tools like Google Maps, Bing Maps, and Esri to create map mashups: multilayered visualizations that combine data from multiple sources. In this course, Jason VanHorn shows how to use these tools to analyze geodata and create interactive, mobile-ready maps that communicate your ideas better than ever before.
Topics include:
* Understanding map mashups
* Finding coordinates
* Mapping with Google Drive
* Geocoding with addresses and coordinates
* Merging data
* Analyzing your map
* Adding GIS layers from services or a file
* Working with the Google Maps, Bing Maps, and Esri APIs
* Sharing and publishing your work
View this entire GIS on the Web and more in the lynda.com library.
