Overview

The Introduction to Mapper Desktop Course is a five day course designed to apply basic mapping techniques with the power of the Smart Data Strategies' Mapper software application. The course will cover all aspects of Mapper. The class will be instructed by focusing on editing data models as a whole and how a variety of GIS elements play a role in those data models. The class will discuss basic editing techniques and be instructed in hands-on labs working with the GIS elements that comprise the general parcel data model. The primary goal will be to demonstrate and use GIS techniques in order to maintain an efficient and accurate parcel data model.

Goals

• To learn the basic tools and techniques available to the student through Mapper Desktop
• To gain a basic understanding of how to maintain the parcel data model with the tools provided in Mapper Desktop by editing the elements that make up the parcel data model.
• To Perform Parcel Splits/Joins
• To Attribute Multiple Ownership to Parcels
• To Perform COGO routines
• To Import Data from other digital formats
• To Digitize in Mapper
• To gain a familiarity with topology classes and the tools that allows us to maintain topological relationships in Mapper Desktop.

Requirements/Prerequisites

• Mapper Desktop is designed for the ESRI Geodatabase model only (not Coverage/Librarian format)

Overview

The Introduction to Mapper Workstation Course is a five day course designed to apply basic mapping techniques with the power of the Smart Data Strategies' Mapper Workstation software application.

Overview

The Advanced Mapper Desktop Course is a three day course designed to apply advanced mapping techniques with the power of the Smart Data Strategies' Mapper Desktop software application. The class will be instructed by focusing on editing data models as a whole and how a variety of GIS elements play a role in those data models. The class will discuss advanced editing techniques and be instructed in hands-on labs working with the GIS elements that comprise the general parcel data model. Advanced topology correction and editing will be reviewed and practiced in order to insure the student's ability to properly and effectively manage their geodatabase. The primary goal will be to demonstrate and use advanced GIS techniques in order to maintain an efficient and accurate parcel data model.

Goals

• To learn the advanced tools and techniques available to the student through Mapper Desktop
• To have an overall understanding of how to maintain the parcel data model with the tools provided in Mapper Desktop by editing the elements that make up the parcel data model.
• To gain a familiarity with topology classes and the tools that allows us to maintain topological relationships in Mapper Desktop.

Requirements/Prerequisites

• Mapper Desktop is designed for the ESRI Geodatabase model only (not Coverage/Librarian format)

Overview

Analyst training will teach you to use an application that combines parcel and other map data with associated non-graphic data such as property, sales, and other assessment data. Analyst training provides the know-how and the tools necessary for performing simple and advanced queries, statistical analysis, and reports.

• Simple queries are customizable by the user, and might consist of searches on parcel attributes such as parcel number, owner, address, subdivision, deeds, or any other common search fields you use frequently, this will also be discussed and practiced in each class.
• Advanced queries will allow you to simultaneously analyze any of the fields in the database and to use the results of the searches to derive sales ratios and other customized analysis.

Once the parcel or group of parcels is identified from the database search, the text data and parcel maps may be viewed on the screen, printed to hard copy, or used to generate reports. Through the use of thematic shading of map data and graphs, you can visually review the analysis results to quickly see the number of occurring results, the influence location has on the results, and the range of the values derived from the analysis.

Analyst can be used in a variety of situations, and can be easily customized to meet your individual needs. For example, with a few easy steps, Analyst can be converted from a statistical analysis tool to a simple public-counter query system. In just two days of hands-on training, you should be able to benefit from all of this functionality in your office!
