Geography utilities
Mapping, data, and fieldwork tools
Three groups of reference aids, arranged by the kind of task they support: mapping resources, demographic data viewers, and fieldwork calculation guides.
Mapping resources
Base maps and map viewers for locating places, reading terrain, and comparing spatial patterns.
Demographic data viewers
Population and census viewers for examining how people are distributed across regions over time.
Fieldwork calculators
Guides for measurement, sampling, and distance calculations used in field investigations.
Application notes
Using the tools in coursework
Start with the question your assignment asks, then choose the mapping resource that shows the place or pattern involved. Demographic viewers help compare population data across regions, while fieldwork calculators support measurements taken on site.
Record which tool and version you used so your analysis can be checked. If a tool does not match your task, use the contact page to ask for guidance.
