Webinars
How Do I Bring Drone Imagery into My GIS?
February 23, 1 - 2 pm (ET)
Drone technology is changing long-held field work practices and business models, and enterprises are learning how to effectively leverage this emerging technology. With Drone2Map for ArcGIS, drones become more than just image capture devices – they are enterprise GIS productivity tools. In this webinar, we’ll discuss best practices for obtaining usable drone imagery. You will also learn how to use Drone2Map for ArcGIS to create 2D and 3D information products from your drone imagery.
Insights for ArcGIS: Understanding Spatial and Tabular Data
March 9, 1 - 2 pm (ET)
Insights for ArcGIS revolutionizes the way GIS and non-GIS users analyze data with maps. In this webinar, we’ll show how, with a simple drag-and-drop technique, users can gain useful insights into their data. You will also learn how data is accessed through cards to create maps, charts, graphics and tables that are all interconnected and can be easily synchronized. Finally, we’ll show how to further empower users with powerful point in polygon aggregation analysis and filtering data for a targeted community.
