About this bundle

Everything on the geomatics side of the academy. Pair the hands-on ArcGIS practical series with cartographic theory and map generalisation, then go deeper with seven GNSS lectures and the geodesy, coordinate-system and projection module. Ideal for GIS analysts, geomatics students and surveyors moving into spatial data.

  • Five courses, 18 documents, 232 pages
  • Practical GIS plus the theory underneath it
  • Save 29% versus buying separately
