I am doing my professional diploma in Geographical Information Systems via UNIGIS. Currently busy with my 1st module and had to create a mindmap of what I have learn so far. (see above)
Mind mapping can be used to help you plan and organize your thinking, literally "maps" out your thoughts of GIS.
There are 5 major components in GIS which is the hardware that can be use, the software that can be use, the people that are using GIS, the data that is needed for GIS and the procedures of what can be done with the data.
There are many more GIS applications than what I have mentioned above. I am currently working in a Town Planning department for my local municipality, so the application Land Use Management is often in use.
There will always be challenges for GIS. See Mind Map the challenges GIS is currently facing.
