In this course, you'll learn how to find GIS data for your own projects and how to create a well-designed map that effectively communicates your message. The first section focuses on the basic components of GIS data, so you know what types of GIS files exist and the implications of choosing one type over another. Next, we'll talk about metadata (which is information about a dataset) so you know how to evaluate a dataset before deciding to use it, as well as prepare data by merging and trimming files as needed. Then we'll talk about taking non-GIS data, like a list of addresses, and turning it into "mappable" data using geocoding. Finally, you will learn how to take data you have found and design a map using cartographic principles. In the course project, you will find your own data and create your own quantitative map.
