Overview
An effective map portrays a place, delivers a message, or reveals a
pattern with representational accuracy and visual clarity. How to make
that happen is the subject of this workshop, which gives GIS
practitioners the practical information and techniques needed to create
effective, successful maps in any display medium.


Audience
This workshop is designed for the individual who may be new to GIS or
who has not had specific training in cartography, but needs to create
maps to support GIS data analysis and display. It will also be useful
for GIS managers to understand how to manage a major cartographic
project effectively.
