Learn how to do fieldwork with QField and QFieldCloud, the fieldwork apps for QGIS.
QField is the field data collection app for QGIS. It is trusted over million times and used by hundreds of thousands of users every month. QFieldCloud is the synchronization and fieldwork management platform for QField and QGIS.
This workshop will introduce the basics of QField and QFieldCloud to achieve effortless fieldwork.
We will walk through the entire fieldwork process, including setting up your QGIS project, publishing the project via QFieldCloud, collecting data using the QField mobile app, and synchronizing field data back into your main dataset at the office.
Basic knowledge of QGIS is desirable but not essential. Participants are asked to bring their own laptops and have the QField app pre-installed on their smartphone or tablet.
The app is available for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and MacOS.
