GIS mapping & video games have THIS in common | GEOTalks Podcast SPECIAL EPISODE

Video game maps demonstrate the core concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), especially in large-scale games like Fortnite and The Legend of Zelda. These games often include mechanics that are comparable to those found in actual GIS software, which can be useful when trying to explain what these tools do! We explore these similarities in depth in this short video essay.
