Training Course on Web-Based GIS Mapping

Course Overview

This course takes participants through the principles and techniques required to create interactive and dynamic web maps using QGIS software. This course is designed for individuals who want to harness the power of geospatial data and showcase it through web-based platforms, enabling users to explore and interact with maps online.

Through hands-on exercises and practical demonstrations, participants will learn how to leverage QGIS plugins and web mapping technologies to publish maps on the web. They will gain a solid understanding of web mapping concepts, data formats, and web mapping frameworks. Additionally, participants will learn how to design intuitive user interfaces, incorporate interactive features, and customize web maps to meet specific project requirements.

Course Duration: 5 days
