Learn how to map your land using open source software and freely
available data. This self-paced, video-based course on DVD is an
excellent introduction to digital mapping tools (GIS) for landowners or
permaculture designers. It will allow you to visualize the terrain of
the land, perform site planning based on slope, aspect, and other
features, and use GIS maps with open source software and Google Earth.
You will learn where to obtain freely available aerial photos,
topographic data, soil maps, and other spatial layers, and how to view
and manipulate the data. Details at: http://www.earthmetrics.com/courses/
For those that prefer a final product, I offer different levels of map
packages that include the finest detail mapping layers available for
your property. The products can be customized to your land and needs,
include free visualization software, and require no specialized mapping
knowledge. Details at
