Graphics to Create Maps
May 19, 2018
Most people categorize themselves as “visual learners”. When it comes to GIS, the quickest way to convey information is visually. Web-based maps and GIS applications mean that local knowledge is not the only way to learn about a location. Large expanses of land can be broken down by analyzing different sets of data on a single map. From the early days of exploration, to managing large environmental sites, to a major company deciding where to open a new headquarters, a well-constructed map makes communicating geography simple.
Latapult has numerous tools to make the map-creation process straightforward and enjoyable. Users can create shapes and text with our graphics tools to customize their maps and highlight areas of interest. Your map and visuals can be exported as a PDF to be used in reports and presentations.
