Map@Syst is a community of practice devoted to the outreach and education for geospatial technologies and their application to today's world. The Map@Syst community provides information on using geospatial technologies and how geospatial technologies are making a difference in peoples’ lives.

About Map@Syst
The Map@syst resource team began it's collaboration as an outreach and education effort through the National Geospatial Technology Extension Network (NGTEN) to provide clientele and other Internet visitors with a single source of reliable and up-to-date information. We strive to provide baseline information on geospatial technologies, a knowledge base of frequently asked questions, and access to science based peer reviewed articles and guides.

What Does the Map@Syst Community Provide?
We are developing on-line learning modules that you can use, or direct others to as a learning resource. Initial on-line modules focus on basic information about geospatial technologies, and future courses will focus on specific tasks and techniques.
