Question MAPPING SOFTWARE COURSE

Are there any courses out there that teach mapping? (sure there must be) - I work as an IT analyst and I'm sure if I could get on a course I could master this (just like anyone could really)

Anyone know if there's anything out there?

Cheers

Its not just about understanding how to use the software (easy part), you have to know the car like the back of your hand too

software is just the tool - you need the knowledge and that takes experience (expensive to gain through trial and error) or extended study of why stuff works.

Heres a Z20LEH lump I built a loom for and mapped running outside of the car

the details are on that website. The courses are very infrequent.

Lots of people map their own cars (not me though) - it is a risky business learning it but can be rewarding if you get it right.
