Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro 2.6

Discover The Science of Where® using the world's premier GIS software

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Getting to Know series, Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro 2.6 teaches new and existing GIS users how to get started solving problems by visualizing, querying, creating, editing, analyzing, and presenting geospatial data in both 2D and 3D environments using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro. Using ArcGIS Pro for these tasks allows you to understand complex data with the leading GIS software that many businesses and organizations use every day.

Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro 2.6 introduces the basic tools and capabilities of ArcGIS Pro through practical project workflows and shows how to be productive with this leading desktop application. You will explore spatial relationships, create and edit spatial data, facilitate workflows, geoenable a project, analyze space-time patterns, analyze map locations for suitability, collaborate on maps and present maps. 

"This book serves as a valuable resource for GIS users desiring to learn more about the ArcGIS Pro application, educators incorporating ArcGIS Pro into curricula, libraries providing software access to patrons, and individuals interested in exploring GIS software for the first time." - Tara LaLonde, The Pennsylvania State University, in Cartographic Perspectives
