Definitive Map Consolidation

Virtual by Microsoft Teams

Consolidating a definitive map can be a daunting task to tackle even if recognising that an up to date map is of huge benefit which can save a lot of officer time. It's a task that there is never time to address and is always shifted forward. This course breaks down the task to create a plan, assess resources, develop process and make a start having considered various methods, pitfalls to avoid, and gathered experience from others who have already achieved consolidation.
