Related Teaching Resources

There are a few primary software resources that I currently use in my classroom teaching. All of the below are excellent GIS/geospatial data analytics packages that combine a solid core of analytical capabilities with good datasets. I recommend all of these packages highly, although they each have distinctive strengths:
  • Caliper's Maptitude (general-purpose GIS package with good census datasets and analytical capabilities)
  • Esri's Business Analyst Web App (BA Web) (user-friendly cloud GIS package focusing on basic business location and market analytics)
  • Alteryx (powerful data management software with extensive geospatial analytical capabilities)
