What is ArcMap? ArcMap is the primary mapping component of ArcGIS Desktop software from ESRI . ArcMap is where you display and explore GIS datasets for your study area, where you assign symbols, and where you create map layouts for printing or publication. ArcMap is also the application you use to create and edit datasets. ArcMap represents geographic information as a collection of layers and other elements in a map. Common map elements include the data frame containing map layers for a given extent plus a scale bar, north arrow, title, descriptive text, a symbol legend, and so on. ArcGIS is, the world's most popular Desktop GIS software.

What is QGIS? QGIS (previously known as Quantum GIS) is open-source desktop geographic information system (GIS) application that provides data viewing, editing, and analysis. Similar to other software GIS systems, QGIS allows users to create maps with many layers using different map projections. QGIS allows maps to be composed of raster or vector layers. Typical for this kind of software, the vector data is stored as either point, line, or polygon-feature. Different kinds of raster images are supported, and the software can perform image georeferencing, spatial data analysis along with support of various remote sensing tools and models.  Training Contents -               Getting Started with QGIS -               QGIS Plugins -               Adding and Modifying Vector Layers -               Viewing data and Vector Attributes -               Saving your QGIS Projects -               Using Plugins -               Adding Raster Images -               C
