Welcome to the GDA2020 eLearning awareness training course. There are four modules guiding you through the basics of GDA2020 through to specific changes to our GIS and Survey systems.
As you may know, TMR is transitioning our GIS/Survey data and systems to the NEW GDA2020 datum. Given the wide user base, this implementation means different things to different users.
Modules One - GDA2020 Overview and Two - Interactive Maps (iMaps) have been released to provide the foundational information to all staff about TMR's initial transition to GDA2020 starting with iMaps.
The GDA2020 Transformation Project team encourages everyone in TMR to complete Module One - GDA2020 Overview to get a general understanding of the changes. Depending on your role and the tools you use, after completing Module One, please complete and of the role specific training courses below.
The four modules and their suggested completion order are:
- GDA2020 Overview
- Interactive Maps (iMaps)
- GIS Clients/MapInfo (MapInfo)
- Survey Systems
Modules Four - Survey Systems are currently being finalised and will be released in the near future. Stay tuned for more information.
As Adding base data to GIS (such as MapInfo, ArcGIS and QGIS) is flexible, this module will provide advice and support for users in identifying the correct datum and how GIS clients can manage data across different datums.
This course has been designed for the wide user base which includes roles from technical officers to casual map users. The large majority of users within TMR should not notice any change to the underlying data this eLearning course was designed to explain why the datum is required to change and how it impacts your day to day activities.
