To continue the discussion begun by this lesson, I would like to pose this question:
If you were building a GIS at an intercontinental scale, what coordinate system would you use? Why? If you were building a GIS at a continental scale, what coordinate system would you use? Why? If you were building a GIS at a county scale, what coordinate system would you use? Why? And how would you store GPS derived heights in your database?
To participate in the discussion, please go to the Lesson 6 Discussion Forum in Canvas. (That forum can be accessed at any time by going to the GEOG 862 course in Canvas and then looking inside the Lesson 6 module.)
