Mobile Data Collection with Mergin Maps and QGIS
In this half-day course, you’ll learn how to use the powerful, free and open source Mergin Maps in combination with QGIS to streamline your data collection process.
The workshop
We’ll present Mergin Maps, a modern data collection app allowing you to easily take your QGIS projects offline and use them in the field. The course will go through the Mergin Maps ecosystem, with hands-on exercises to deploy customised data collection apps.
Participants will be guided through:
- how to prepare a field project in QGIS
- push it to their mobile
- capture high quality data in the field
- sync the result back
Mergin Maps makes it very simple to deploy and share projects straight from QGIS.
Who should attend
Geologists, environmental scientists, anyone involved with collecting data in the field.
Certification
Mammoth Geospatial is an official QGIS Certifying Organisation. Participants in our workshops will receive an official QGIS certificate, providing direct financial support to the QGIS project.
