Geospatial Data Visualization and Web Mapping

Geospatial data is everywhere, but turning raw coordinates into clear, interactive web maps requires specific techniques. This course guides you from foundational cartographic principles to publishing interactive maps online. You will learn how to handle spatial data formats, style geographic features, and leverage cloud-based GIS services to share your insights. What you'll learn: • Understand core GIS concepts, coordinate reference systems, and spatial data formats like GeoJSON. • Design clear and communicative maps using modern cartographic design principles. • Build interactive web maps using popular open-source web mapping libraries. • Configure cloud GIS platforms to host, manage, and share geospatial datasets. • Style vector tiles and thematic layers to highlight patterns and trends in your data. The course begins with essential spatial terminology and map projection basics before guiding you through hands-on styling techniques and cloud deployment workflows. Designed for beginners, this text-based course requires no prior GIS experience or programming background to get started.
