Want to conduct smarter geospatial field research with Mergin Maps and QGIS? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to collect, manage, and visualize field data, create digital map layers, and synchronize data within a GIS environment. With personalized guidance, online modules, and hands-on assignments, you’ll develop practical skills for spatial analysis and field research.
Mergin Maps is a user-friendly app that allows you to easily collect, edit, and manage geospatial data. The app integrates seamlessly with QGIS, enabling you to quickly synchronize data without complicated manual processes. This makes it an efficient solution for anyone involved in field research and spatial analysis.
A major advantage of Mergin Maps is that you can collect data offline and automatically sync it as soon as you’re back online. This saves time and prevents errors that occur during manual data transfer. Additionally, the app supports GNSS devices, ensuring high accuracy when mapping areas.
Mergin Maps is widely used in sectors such as environmental monitoring, urban planning, and infrastructure management. Whether you’re conducting a tree inventory, inspecting roads, or analyzing urban development, this tool helps you quickly and effectively collect and utilize geospatial data.
In this course, you will learn how to use Mergin Maps and QGIS to digitally support and optimize field research. You will discover how to collect, manage, and analyze geospatial data within a GIS environment.
You’ll learn how to prepare a project by adding background layers, such as raster and vector layers, and how to create survey layers with the correct attributes. You’ll also discover how to set up map themes to easily switch between different views and how to synchronize data via the Mergin cloud service, enabling teams to collaborate efficiently.
Another key component of the course is working with the Input app, which allows you to enter and edit field data. This helps you understand how GIS specialists collect data in practice and how you can analyze this data without being on-site yourself.
Upon completion of this course, you will have a comprehensive overview of the digital geospatial data processing workflow: from project preparation and data management to interpreting field data. This will better prepare you for applications in environmental monitoring, urban planning, and infrastructure management, without requiring you to conduct field measurements yourself.
Blended learning combines independent online learning with practical, interactive sessions, so you not only gain theoretical knowledge but also understand how to use Mergin Maps and QGIS for GIS field research. The online modules offer the flexibility to study at your own pace. Through interactive lessons, you’ll learn how to collect, process, and manage geospatial data. Because you have unlimited access to the course materials, you can review and practice the theory at any time.
During the course, you’ll immediately apply your knowledge in online practical exercises. You’ll work with realistic datasets and learn how to manage map layers, edit attributes, and synchronize data via the Mergin cloud service. Through hands-on assignments, you’ll discover how GIS specialists optimize field research with digital tools and how to effectively apply these techniques in spatial analyses.
This online blended learning approach ensures that you not only master the theoretical foundations of GIS field research but also know exactly how to use Mergin Maps and QGIS to efficiently manage and analyze geospatial data. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to independently process geodata and use GIS tools for applications in environmental monitoring, urban planning, and infrastructure management.
