Riya Rachel Mohan, Consultant from CSTEP attended a two day workshop on Mapping essentials, organised by Gubbi Labs on May 23-24, 2015. The workshop’s objective was to equip the participants with essentials of mapping, offering insights and hands-on exposure to working with various free-and-open-source mapping applications. In the first part of the workshop, the basics of the mapping and the spatial analysis of data using hand held GPS devices were performed. The participants were divided into three groups to collect data using these devices. In the second part of the workshop, hands on training with QGIS and spatial analysis of data collected from the GPS devices were conducted. CSTEP found the workshop useful for the basic understanding of the software and to apply the techniques in various domains within the company.
