Every mapper has struggled with a map that for some reason doesn't align properly. Your different layers of base data aren't anywhere close to each other or you've shown up to do your fieldwork but your gps is several km from where it should be. This 2.5 hr course has been specifically designed to give you the knowledge to avoid these issues or troubleshoot them when they do arise. In the course you will learn all about coordinate reference systems, the earths magnetic field, declination, grid convergence, and grivation, and more.

In this 2.5-hour course you will learn how to use Karttapullautin (KP) to generate smoothed contours which you can import and use directly in your map projects. In addition to contours you will also learn about other KP outputs such as vegetation and cliffs.

In the class will talk about the pros and cons of this method – namely that they are a great way to get started but are just that – a starting point if you’re willing to put the time in.

This course uses free software so is easily accessible to new mappers.
