About This Course
This instructional course teaches students how to map and manage utility data using advanced open-source GIS technology. Master the process of converting GPS files (KML, CSV, TXT exported from utility locating equipment such as RD8100, UtiliGuard 2, vLocPro2, LMX100, and mobile GPS applications such as Cube-a) to GIS datasets using desktop software, and then build simple web-based mapping applications to access and share utility maps and data online in a secure and private cloud GIS environment. This utility mapping training will walk your team through a sample project to import GPS data, digitize utilities, export PDF maps, and create a web mapping application, from start to finish.
This is a complete step-by-step guide which includes:
- 44 Page Step-by-Step PDF Guide
- Instructional How-To Videos
- Sample GPS and GIS data files
- Preconfigured GIS map files
- Practical & challenging lesson assignments
- 24x7 learner assistance and support
