Join me in this workshop and learn to take your QGIS project into the field with Mergin Maps. With Mergin Maps, you can easily capture features and photos with your team, synchronize changes across devices and use the power of QGIS to manage your project.
This workshop covers everything you need to know to work with Mergin Maps. If you are new to Mergin Maps and QGIS, we will begin with a gentle introduction. This includes all the basic steps of setting up a project in QGIS, configuring survey layers and conducting your first field survey.
If you are familiar with Mergin Maps, this workshop will include information on more advanced workflows. For example, advanced project configuration and information on project management and collaboration principles. Unleash the full power of the Mergin Maps platform.
Introduction
Learn to install QGIS and create a Mergin Maps account. Then install the Mergin Maps mobile app and the Mergin Maps QGIS plugin.
Setting up a Project in QGIS
Learn about best practices and configuration options for your first project. Create a survey layer, add basemaps and explore your project in the Mergin Maps mobile app.
Configure Survey Layers
How to configure QGIS field widgets for numerous applications. Use special Mergin Maps variables and the Drag and Drop Designer to create an intuitive and more intelligent field data collection form.
Conducting a Field Survey
Take your project outside on your mobile device and collect your first data. This includes learning about position tracking, navigation options, synchronizing the data back to QGIS and use of the Mergin Maps Processing Algorithms.
Advanced Project Configuration
Do you need more customized projects? Learn advanced options for form configuration, advanced photo settings and how to work with non-spatial tables to create cascading forms.
Project Management and Collaboration
Learn to manage a project for any size organization. Discover how to add users, set permissions and manage project versions.
