Updated for the third edition using ArcGIS® Pro software, Understanding GIS: An ArcGIS® Pro Project
Workbook is the first textbook on the market to teach how to use real-world
data to develop a GIS project, from start to finish. This book lets you assume
the role of a GIS analyst challenged with finding the best location for a new
park along the Los Angeles River in Southern California. The book provides the
starting data and guidance for using ArcGIS Pro software to perform a complete
GIS analysis, map the findings, and share the results on interactive web maps.
