Software

    Please check the software chart in the lab, or the laboratory layout above, to determine which machines have the software you need. 


Projects and Data

    Every user that is taking a GIS course has access to shared data on the projects server. It should be mapped as the P:\ drive when each user logs in. Within this drive we have loaded information in the P:\geography directory. Information in this directory currently includes:

  • ESRI Maps and Data

  • GEO 383/683 Assignment Data

  • GEO 583 Assignment Data

  • MapInfo Tutorials

If you cannot see the P:\ drive when you log in or if you would like access to this information and are not currently taking a GIS course within the department, please contact Brian von Knoblauch.
