Speed
course (one A4):
In anticipation of a
proper on-line MM course the following might be of interest.
In the UK a so call :"Habitat
Phase 1- Survey" is a foot. To
assist this survey, usually done by non mapping experts, a small tuition package was
developed.
In this 'zip' file you will find a very low resolution aerial
photograph, a map extract, a style set as specified in the JNCC instruction manual, and one A4 with some instructions.
Although the stylefile and the instruction are specific for this type
of map and are very limited, the principals explained are quite universal. These
instructions only cover a very small part of "digital mapping", yet, they might
be a good stepping stone for complete novices. |
