Kanada Kev Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Huh? Damn ... didn't know there was a whole week, even a day, to celebrate geography! They NEVER taught me that at Ryerson or York U (where I graduated with a geography major!) I'm going to start celebrating right now with a tall Gin and Tonic My drink originated in ENGLAND. Here is a link to GPS locations for pubs in the UK http://www.travelbygps.com/guides/england/pubs.php the digitization proclamation of the declination of the destination through a compilation of aerotriangulation at a high elevation but please no rectification, triangulation or trilateration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Happy Belated GIP day! All hail emperor ESRI!!! Seriously how cool is Google maps?!Danny Patterson, you are a mentor and a Sage.I can't wait until GIS is a significant part of my organization... Right now I need a map with the shortest distance between 90 Flyer drop off locations... anyone want to help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 they didn't teach spelling at that school, some of the teachers may have been higher than the students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Right now I need a map with the shortest distance between 90 Flyer drop off locations... anyone want to help me out? My project for Patterson's class was cost-path analysis. If I had the tools I could whip that up for you no problem!What you need is some lightweight logistics software.But you're smart, you can figure this stuff out!!

backbacon Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 The one bad thing about maps is when your passenger has no clue how to read it.The GPS saved the day in scotland "At the next roundabout, take the thrid exit."

phishtaper Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 ive been spending the past few days reading articles about how inaccurate most health GIS is in calculating distances between points (for the purpose of proximity to care). ugh.
