14. Raster v Vector map data Raster map data is a matrix of cells (or pixels) in a grid: – scanned maps, digital aerial photographs, satellite images, digital pictures. – geo-referenced, geographic coordinates of the location added. – useful as background for displaying other data. Vector map data stores data on individual map features e.g. – Points such as train stations. – Lines such as railway tracks and rivers. – Polygons such as buildings or fields. – We can view, query and analyse vector map data.

15. Measurements Available under Map tools Measure distances or areas Not possible to save the measurements or print on your map

16. Hillshading Will be other overlays available in future
