GIS applied to Municipality Management: Module 2 ‘Introduction to reference systems’

Posted on 11/12/2017 by Mario

At this second module, the last theoretical one before starting with the practical part, we will speak about reference systems and how we can apply them in a GIS to represent our geographic information correctly.

It is very important to know about this issue because if we load two layers that are in different reference systems, in a same view, we can have them without being overlapped correctly. We will have to manage their reference systems to solve this problem.

Reference systems can be managed in different ways, and one of the most used options is through EPSG codes, where each different reference system is corresponding to a different code.

At this link you can see the list of EPSG codes of the different reference systems, that will help you to work with your cartography in gvSIG: http://downloads.gvsig.org/download/geodata/EPSG_codes/Projected_Coordinate_Reference_Systems.pdf

And here you have the video of this second module:

I cannot access and view the view because my office network is restricted from youtube. Is that a possibility of having videos that are downloadable from this site itself, without going to youtube?

Otherwise many thanks for this nice initiative. I am following the proceedings keenly with interest.

  Hi Justine,
  if you install VLC you can convert a Youtube URL to mp4. Have you tried it? Let us know if it works. If it doesn’t work in your case we would look for another way to download it.

    Hi Mario,
    Thanks for giving me the option, however it doesn’t work. This is the response “www.youtube.com’s server DNS address could not be found”.

      Hi Justine, here we have found a solution: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/solved-server-dns-address-could-not-be-found/ Let us know if it works, it will be useful for other users. In case that it doesn’t work we would look for other possible solutions. The videos were created directly from our webinar platform in Youtube, and we would have to download all of them and upload them to a server. Thank you!

        I have tried all the first four options and none has worked for me. I have tried the fifth though, I am still optimistic for a relief. Looking forward to a breakthrough with the video downloads, any more suggestions?
        Ciao!

        we have uploaded them to this link:
        https://mega.nz/#F!0dYQTLBK!n1Z6TpaygZMdc2WBU1ysgA
        We will publish them at that link.
        Let us know if it works now.
        Ciao!

  Hello, you don’t need to register at the course. You only have to follow the videotutorials. At this first post you can find a “Frequent questions” section with all the information: https://blog.gvsig.org/2017/12/04/free-course-about-geographic-information-systems-applied-to-municipality-management-list-of-topics-and-1st-module-differences-between-sig-and-cad/
