(Work, Student, or Personal)

ArcGIS Pro can feel overwhelming because there are hundreds of tools, menus, settings, and workflows.

But you probably don't need all of them.

And you don't need to be a GIS professional to learn how to make maps.

YouTube videos can provide specific examples, but if your goal is to create a useful, professional map, you need to understand the workflow that gets you from your data to your finished map.

That's what this course teaches.

You don't need more information.

You need to know what to do with it.

Before you enroll

Is this the right course for you?

This course is for you if...

  • You need to make professional maps for work or school but don't know where to start.

  • You've tried using ArcGIS Pro and felt overwhelmed by the interface.

  • You want a structured, step-by-step tutorial rather than scattered information.

Look elsewhere if...

  • You are already comfortable creating layouts and running geoprocessing tools in Pro.
  • You're looking for advanced spatial analysis or Python scripting (ArcPy).
  • You want to learn QGIS, ArcGIS Online, or older ArcMap software.

Learn from someone who has spent 20 years making maps—not just teaching software.

I'm Matt Fremont, a GIS Analyst, Cartographer, and Professor of Geography.

I've spent the last 20 years building maps for environmental agencies, planners, researchers, and other professionals.

And I remember what it was like to open GIS software and have no idea where to start.

That's why I built this course around the part that matters most:

Knowing what to do next.

Not every tool.

Not every feature.

Not years of GIS theory.

Just the practical workflow you need to go from your data to a finished map.

About the Course:

Here's the workflow you'll learn:

01: Start with your data

Learn how to bring spatial data into ArcGIS Pro and set up your project correctly.

02: Work with the information

Access high-quality, free spatial data and import data into your map.

03: Make it communicate clearly

Symbolize, label, and design your map so someone else can understand it.

04: Turn data into a useful map

Create labels, a legend, scale bar and north arrow.

05: Share and print a map

Create the final layout and export a high-resolution map you can print, present, or share.

Repeat this process to customize any map!
