FOSS4G 2023 workshops

Field data collection with Mergin Maps and QGIS

Using free Mergin Maps (an extension of QGIS), users will be able to work together and collect data during the workshop.


Mergin Maps is an app, cloud ecosystem and an extension of the free and open source GIS software QGIS. It allows you to open, interrogate and edit your QGIS projects on your mobile. The mobile app is available on iOS and Android and allows you to make a field survey, take a photo or collect your field data and share them with your team. It works offline and is easy to integrate with existing GIS infrastructure using open formats.

Users will need:
- A laptop with a mouse device
- QGIS desktop installed
- A mobile/tablet device (Android or iOS)
