Do you have data that you would like to see on a map? Maybe you have X,Y coordinates, a list of addresses, or a spreadsheet of counties or zip codes. This session will show you how to display your data on a map. You can bring your own data, or use our sample datasets. It is recommended that you attend ‘Making a map with GIS’ prior to this session, but all are welcome.
