We will start by setting up a QGIS project specifically for the field. You will learn how to prepare background maps for offline use, design smart forms for easy data entry, and enable tools for tracking and sketching. Once the project is configured, we will show you how to share it with multiple users, allowing a whole team to go out and collect data simultaneously.
Acting as that field team, we will then use the Mergin Maps mobile app to capture data in real-time. We will look at how the platform handles the reality of collaboration—merging edits from different users and handling version control without the usual conflicts.
Finally, we will bring the data back into the desktop environment and explore Web Map Publishing. You will see how to take your finished QGIS project and publish it as an interactive web map, making it easy to share survey results with clients or stakeholders who don't use GIS.
