MiraMon videotutorials

MiraMon is a powerful Geographycal Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing program used in the visualization, consultation, generation, edition and analysis of geographical information.

Down below a set of videotutorials about the use of MiraMon in different applications of GIS and Remote Sensing are shown. These videotutorials have been created to be used as an autonomous course to facilitate learning the software or to make specific queries of those aspects that are interesting to users. The videotutorials and their sections are independent, in order for users to be familiarized with the performance of MiraMon, they can consult them directly, without needing to follow a pre-established order. Nevertheless, the videotutorials are presented according to the themes developed to ease learning, step by step, about MiraMon.

Where possible, videotutorials have selectionable captions in Catalan, Spanish or English, in order to make tutorias comprehensible in the several language versions of MiraMon and make them accessible to hearing impaired people. For each videotutorial, in addition, there is access to the Help sections in MiraMon program that contain wide and complementary information to that explained in the videotutorial.

The different persons compiling these videotutorials are their legitimate authors and so they have performed it freely according to their best criteria. From the MiraMon team we would like to acknowledge their dedication and contribution. If you want to join the collaborator team and compile new tutorias, send us an email to contacte@miramon.uab.cat both to be incorporated as well as to receive any validation or guidelines for their performance.
