In this workshop we will learn how to navigate ArcMap, kinds of GIS data, how to add data to a map, basic symbology and labelling, how to filter data and how to create a finished map.

ArcGIS is a Geographic Information System (GIS); a software program for working with maps and geographic data. ArcMap is the desktop mapping software of ArcGIS. Although similar in some ways to online mapping sites, ArcGIS has greater analytical capabilities and allows you more input and control over your map.
