    Good information but recommended excluding or making sure the background music doesn’t overpower your own speaking voice. Had to rewind 100 times because music is too loud
  • Thanks Matt, your videos are much appreciated and great content!
  • @Alaa-wv4jk
    Amazing video i really appreciate it as a geomatic student who wants to dive deep into the gis world . Would love if there is a road map for beginners cause I find the starting point so confusing . I hope you can make a video about it . And thank you again🙌🙏

    Thanks Matt - and for all you do. Map on!

    Hi Matt, thanks for the explanation, I would like to ask you a question, how does the work of a developer differ from that of a GIS developer? What are the differences in terms of skills and actual coding? Also, I would like to know more about GIS by reading a book, is there any book you would recommend for that? Thanks a lot!
  • Hello sir, Please give me a suggestion. Master of Planning or Master of Geospatial Information Systems which one is best for Future career ? I am planning for higher study in Australia.But now i feel disappoint for making decision. My background was Geography & Environment for both times B.S and M.S . Please give me your personal opinion. Thank you from Bangladesh.
  • @caffreydavis218
    May I ask if it's possible to learn GIS online ad a Certificate, as a graduate who doesnt have a Geography or Geology degree?
  • I think something that's difficult with modern GIS software is cartography. It's definitely gotten better in ArcPro than what it used to be but making beautiful maps requires you use other software such as Illustrator. Open source options exist with programs such as Inkscape which are helpful but it would be nice to keep everything in one program

    Amazing video... Please add subtitles to the video. Thank You

    The music is distracting. It prevents hearing and understanding. Thank you for your consideration.
  • Thanks for the video, but please get a better mic or speak more loudly.
