Location:252 MacOdrum Library
Audience:Current Students

QField allows you to efficiently work on your GPS and GIS data outdoor using projects prepared with QGIS desktop. In this workshop you will learn to prepare a QGIS project with base layers, vector layers and forms ready to be used on your field trip. You will use Android tablets or smartphones to collect some simple features outdoors and then learn to access these data via QGIS. Participants will require access to a laptop computer with QGIS installed, and an Android tablet or smartphone with QField installed. Sharing of devices is encouraged and participants are welcome to work in pairs or groups and to share available devices. If you have a laptop and/or Android devices available to use, please install GQIS and QField in advance of the workshop.

Facilitated by Stefan Simon.
