Learn how to create a free, interactive web map using the opensource mapping software, QGIS, and the QGIS2Web plugin. After designing a map and generating the web map files, the workshop shows how to deposit the files in a GitHub repo and publish the web map to a live URL that you can share. A sample dataset showing sunset times across the U.S. can be used with the exercise tutorial. View the workshop materials on GitHub: https://umassgis.github.io/workshops...
