To mark the celebration of the International GIS day which comes up on the 16th of November 2016, I would be doing a free practical GIS training on Nairaland and other social media platform. The GIS software that would be adopted in the course of the training is the ArcGIS software. 2 Likes 1 Share |

What is GIS Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking and displaying data related to positions on the Earth’s surface. It allows us to view, understand, question, interpret and visualize data in ways that reveals relationship, patterns and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports and charts. With GIS technology, people can compare the locations of different things in order to discover how they relate to each other. 1 Like 1 Share |

Creating a Working Folder The first things to do before any GIS work or project is to create a working folder which would be used to save data needed for the GIS work. For me I created a folder in my C-drive and named it Working Folder. This folder would be where my base map and other data would be saved. The base map I would be working on is a scanned Edo state map.
