Intro to geospatial data
Common questions:●What is geospatial data?●What are the most useful sources of free geospatial data available?●How do I navigate these portals?●What is metadata and why is it important? ●Where do I start my data search for my next project?

Our definition
● “Geospatial data identifies and describes the geographic location of features and boundaries. Spatial data is usually stored as coordinates and topology and can be mapped. There are two types of geospatial data: vector and raster.”
