“Great materials, great instructor and great organization. Thanks!” – Institute for Health Research and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago
“I especially liked the comprehensiveness of the course as well as the 2-hour segments of learning. Breaking up the learning really helped me retain what I learned. I have taken many IT trainings, but I have to say that Gina Clemmer is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. I recommend this training to anyone that is interested in learning or improving their GIS skills.” GIS Project Coordinator, NYS Council on Children and Families
“I knew I needed to learn geo-analysis skills and I had to start somewhere. The GIS Essentials course was just the right level to get me where I needed to go. Starting with the basics, working through real-life examples, and upping the complexity made it worth my time. I also appreciated being able to ask questions specific to the projects I was working on. ” Research Data Analyst, Stanford University, School of Medicine
Looking for GIS data from the feds? You are probably familiar with data websites and portals such as The National Map, the USDA’s Geospatial Data Gateway, and geospatial data within Data.gov and the GeoPlatform.

You fly a drone? Then you must be familiar with LAANC, the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability. It provides drone pilots with access to controlled airspace at or below 400 feet. Included is an FAA web app that provides near real-time authorization to conduct drone flights in controlled airspace. Drone pilots can use it to easily locate LAANC enabled airports, understand the airspace classification, determine the latitude/longitude of the proposed flight location, and view altitude restriction grids. Apps such as FAADroneZone, AirMap, Aeronyde, Converge, Kittyhawk, Skyward, and UASidekick will provide the map and the ability to acquire LAANC authorizations.
The web map is also available to the public. Check it out!
