Looking for an advanced coordinate system course.

David_Brooks — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 19:40:52 GMT

I'm looking for a good online course that covers the parameters that define the position of the origin, the scale, and the orientation of a coordinate system. Including how to create your own system, and how to work with coordinate systems in various softwares, including python.

for the book-inclined

Introduction to Geometrical and Physical Geodesy: Foundations of Geomatics by Thomas H. Meyer | Esri Press

an intro, perhaps advanced for some

Introduction to Coordinate Systems | Esri Training Web Course

then a step up

Working with Coordinate Systems in ArcGIS | Esri Training Web Course

assess your level vs course/book content for these

@DanPatterson i think you've knocked it out of the park with that book recommendation. Thank you. The 2 training courses a possibly a little too basic, but will check out that second one. Thank you

I will have to dig up my copy and put it on the market .... I think I got it as a desk copy a number of years ago 😉
