There are three ways to quickly map GeoLytics Data: Online with GeoLytics, using geographic data with ArcGIS, and using Attribute data with ArcGIS. Each of these methods are listed below.

For more advanced instruction, consider attending a library workshop or taking one of many GIS courses on campus.
