  3. ArcGIS • Largest Selling GIS Software Application • Broad support in many sectors • Expensive • Slow • Excellent Help • Many Quality Issues • Not popular outside the US

  4. There are lots of options • GRASS: Really hard to use • Quantum GIS: Not as hard to use • DIVA GIS: Easy, not as full featured • MapInfo: Marketing & Business • Autodesk: CAD, Utilities • Intergraph: GeoMedia • IDRISI: Clark University • Smallworld: ?

  5. Utilities • FWTools • Proj4 – Projectors (SRS conversions) • GDAL – Raster file format conversions • OGR - Vector file format conversions • EPSG • European Petroleum Standards Group • Database of SRSs • 7-zip • Decompression • DNRGPS (formerly DNRGarmin)

  6. Modeling/Analysis Software • Geospatial Modeling Environment • Primarily Wildlife Modeling • Was Hath’s Tools • R • Free statistics package • Some spatial functions • SAGA • System for Automated Geoscientific Analysis • IDRISI • Image processing and analysis

  7. Vertical Applications • HEC-RAS: • Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System • Army Corp of Engineers • Fire: • BehavePlus • FlamMap • FARSITE • Landscape Analysis: • Fragstats • Others…

  8. Where to go from here • GSP 370: Intermediate GIS • GSP 118 -> 318: Spatial Programming • GSP 330: Mobile Mapping • GSP 316: Cartography • GSP 216: Remote Sensing • Esri University (some free classes) • Online classes, blogs, tutorials

  9. What to do now? • Develop your own projects and datasets • Find your style • Find what you are interested in (and enjoy) • Help people make better decisions! • Hang in there! (it gets better) • Find internships, volunteer work, and jobs where people need GIS • Develop: • Experience • Relationships
