Here’s a valuable GIS learning tool from UK-based NGO, MapAction (see mapaction.org) …”TheField Guide to GIS for Non-GIS Folks” From the NSGIC blog… The Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping includes basic introductions to GIS mapping and to the use of GPS to collect data. It also offers detailed tutorials on using free and/or open source tools such as Google Earth and MapWindow to create and manage GIS data and maps for humanitarian response efforts (Via NSGIC blog) – Download the Guiude as a PDF document HERE
