This document describes how to create maps using DMGIS software. It includes steps for georeferencing, digitization, data joining, thematic mapping and map layout. The key steps are:
1. Georeferencing involves registering a base map using control points and assigning a projection.
2. Digitization allows creating vector layers by tracing boundaries and polygons.
3. Data joining combines external databases with GIS data using common attributes.
4. Thematic mapping styles data to show patterns and relationships through techniques like choropleth, dot density and diagrams.
5. Map layout arranges finished maps, legends and titles within a printable page frame.
