This 30-minute webinar provides a broad overview of the GIS Landscape in Connecticut and how it continues to evolve. The presenters provide general ways to “get” geographic data from map viewers to services to download including the pros and cons of each. They speak about how to find authoritative data sources and tools and how the CT Geodata Portal is working to bring them together in one place. Finally, it shares ways to stay “in-the-know” when there are updates, changes, and additions to the CT GIS Landscape. This webinar provides foundation of techniques and terms that will be part of future webinars.
