The Geocoding workshop will cover theory and praxis of generating spatially consistent GIS layers from various data sources.

• How can I make sure my GPS measurements overlay correctly with my base map layers?

• I have street addresses. How do I get geographic latitude/longitude coordinates?

• How do I correctly convert lat/lon coordinates to UTM, State Plane, etc.?

• What are ellipsoids, data, and map projections anyway?

• How can I geocode my airphoto or satellite image, and merge it with my GIS?

• How do I convert digitized and scanned data to geocoded data sets?

• Introduction to spatial (geographic) coordinate systems

• Reference Ellipsoids

• Map data

• Map projections

• Geocoding Accuracy

• Address matching with ESRI ArcGIS

• Vector data geocoding with ESRI ArcGIS

• Raster data geocoding with PCIGeomatics OrthoEngine
