The Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS) is a free GIS software provided by the U.S. Census Bureau to our geographic program partners. GUPS is used to collect spatial information such as boundaries and linear features in geographic programs such as the Block Boundary Suggestion Project, The Voting District Project, the Boundary and Annexation Survey, the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA), the School District Boundary Review Program, and the Participant Statistical Areas Program. It is also used to collect address information in LUCA. During this workshop you will learn the basic functionality of GUPS that crosses over all programs, as well as GUPS tools developed for the unique needs of each program.
