Hear what people are saying about GRAIL workshops............

The presentation and hands on demonstration we were given was very instructive and an eye opener.

It touched on things that are useful in the modern day GIS industry. I particularly liked the presentation on the merging of technologies, Google Earth and ArcGIS, and how they can be used to generate customized GIS maps.

Thank you for the great learning experience.


AND


Just a quick thank you for having our class over at GRAIL yesterday. The Instructor did a great job giving us a tour of Google Earth and ArcMap capabilities. I can't wait to try out Arc GIS 9.3-thank you so much for the student edition.

GRAIL is a fantastic lab - I wish the Geography department used this facility more often-what a great resource for GIS folks.
