Getting started with GRASS 7. Using it for geospatial data visualization, vector and raster analysis, attribute management.
The course requires familiarity with GIS concepts.
Participants are requested to bring their own laptop. In order to allow for a smooth start of the course, hereby instruction for preparing your laptop beforehand. As available, we will be using the brand new release of GRASS 7.0.0 beta 1 or a GRASS 7.0 snapshot version which will be equally fine. The binary packages of the new version will become available in these days.
