MI Map Projections, Grids & Datums of the World

[Cliff Mugnier - University of New Orleans]

Hi folks,

Another of my short courses is scheduled for Monday-Tuesday, June 7-8 in
Houston, Texas.  There are vacancies open to the public.

The course is 1 1/2 days of instruction on the origins of classical datums, how
to fit GPS data to old coordinate systems for GIS applications, what this stuff
means, its history, etc.  The course runs from 7:30am to 11:30am & 1:30pm to
4:30pm on Monday and from 7:30am to 11:30am on Tuesday.  A superb cafeteria is
in the building, telephones and internet access is available to the students.  

Also covered is the proper use of projections for point-positioning
applications, terminology, anecdotes, stories, etc.
This subject matter is applicable to users of ESRI stuff, MapInfo, Z-Map, etc. -
ALL GIS application software.  No comparisons or discussion is covered on the
various vendors of GIS software.  Comments on software are restricted to the
topic of geodetic and cartographic transformations.  All questions on
photogrammetry are answered (if asked).

Handouts include a xerographic copy of Snyder's text and numerous past columns
of mine as well as assorted other stuff.

Title of the course is:  "E-227 Principles of Cartography"

If you have specific problems you are currently having somewhere in the world,
you are encouraged to bring the details with you for discussion and help.  If
you do wish to do that, let me know in advance and I'll look up those particular
countries in my personal material to be properly prepared to help with details
and specifics.

Check out "Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing."  Next week, the June
issue will feature my column on the Grids and Datums of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Hope to see you there! (In Houston - not Morocco.)

Cliff
