    I can oddly relate because I’m taking courses right now that deal with these data sets, GIS is a great field with lots of opprotunities that pays well even in entry positions. If anyone is curious, they should look it up. It can be used in soooo many different applications and fields, it’s very versatile.

      My dad is a software developer for a popular GIS software. It’s just weird to see someone on Lemmy talking about GIS lol

        ESRI or Q? There are not that many. 😂 There are several GIS adjacent communities on here. We get obsessive.

          Digpro actually. It may not be popular in the US but it’s big in Europe/Scandinavia.

      All I know about GIS is that there’s a plugin for Postgres called postGIS and it uses spatial coordinates.
