In addition to introducing readers to GeoMedia Windows-based, object-oriented GIS tool kit with a built-in viewer developed by Intergraph this how-to and reference manual features a discussion of how GeoMedia (enterprise-centric) differs from traditional GIS-centric applications. Basic functionality is reviewed in the context of typical spatial data management tasks. Exercises and examples throughout the book are ideal for beginner through intermediate GeoMedia users and based on sample data readily accessed via the Internet.
