Mapping the Invisible World

Have you ever tracked a food delivery right to your front door, checked a weather radar on your phone, or wondered how a video game creates a massive, realistic open world?

You are interacting with Location Intelligence.

In today's fast-paced world, the most expensive mistake a business, hospital, or construction crew can make is not knowing where things are. Whether you are tracking the spread of a virus, planning the layout of a music festival, or routing a fleet of delivery trucks, understanding spatial data is an essential skill across every single industry.

This certification is designed to give you insights into the technology used by modern professionals. Before you dive into the modules, let's break down the two technologies that make this possible.

• GPS (Global Positioning System): A network of satellites that collects raw data to pinpoint your exact physical coordinates.

• GIS (Geographic Information System): Takes raw GPS data, stacks it with other information, and allows you to analyze it to solve real-world problems.

Over the next four modules, you will step into the shoes of a Spatial Analyst. You will complete this training entirely from your desk. Keep your PDF worksheets handy—they are your ultimate study guide for the final 15-question Certification Quiz.
