GIS Geocoding (CMPSC 98GC)

1 Unit
Students who take this course will learn to use GIS software for geocoding purposes. Geocoding is
the process of using common data to quickly and easily create location maps and is used by most
government agencies and many businesses. GIS software will be used to produce maps useful in
such things as routing emergency vehicles, providing effective customer service delivery,
understanding crime incident patterns, or locating restaurants, schools, and fire stations.
Students will also learn to create and refine address data to develop the reference data
necessary to build address or geocoding indexes.  Strategies will be exercised to clean input
addresses, achieve better address-matching results, and fine-tune software parameters.
Credit may be earned for only one of the following: CMPSC 98GC or GEOGR 98GC. Offered for
Pass/No Pass grading only.
