GeoMattix is pleased to post our December, 2009 newsletter. We are preparing to leave for a few weeks and wanted to take a moment to wish you happy holidays and to share a little of what we’ve been up to and what we’ll be doing this spring. Enjoy!
Custom Training
Lots of Training – We’ve been doing a lot of training lately – all over the place! Though certified training has not been as popular this year, custom training has been popular for topics ranging from getting started with GIS to advanced GPS techniques.
AGIC GPS Workshop a Success
AGIC Conference – Thank you to all who stopped in at my ArcPad workshop at the AGIC conference in Tucson this November! This year we taught a half-day Intro to ArcPad 8 workshop and used Trimble Juno units to collect GPS data with ArcPad. The weather was great in Tucson and it was fun see everyone at the conference.
Michele Mattix to Teach GPS Course for ASU MAS-GIS Program
Arizona State University’s geography department has a 1 year Master’s of Advanced Study in GIS certificate program. Students can keep their day job and attend night classes to learn about the latest in GIS. GeoMattix’s Michele Mattix is a faculty member of the program and will be teaching a GPS course in late January for this year’s group. For more information, visit http://geoplan.asu.edu/mas-gis.

I will be on vacation for honeymoon (we did it!) and holiday travel December 14 – January 5. I will check email intermittently during this period but will not be available for phone consultation.
Start planning for the spring conferences now!
