GIS Speed Run Sessions: Creating Map Layouts Online
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a multi-disciplinary tool that is widely used across the architecture industry. Attend this 30-minute speed run session to learn how to create a stylish map layout for print or digital publication.
This presentation, with a question & answer session, will discuss the key elements of a map layout, how to create a layout, different options for sharing your map layouts, as well as browsing some stylish and unique examples.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Understand what a map layout is
• Create a map layout using ESRI ArcGIS Pro software
• Utilize various options for sharing map layouts
While the focus of this session is on the use of GIS in architecture, anyone interested in GIS is welcome to attend. No prior knowledge is required to participate.
