Mapshaper MiniWorkshop
Matthew Bloch, The New York Times

Since its NACIS debut in 2005, Mapshaper has evolved from an academic research project into a versatile toolkit for editing vector datasets. At the New York Times, Mapshaper has proven
to be more useful than GIS software for many cartographic tasks. This session will use practical examples taken from my work at the Times to demonstrate some of Mapshaper’s most useful features. There will be an online tutorial for participants who want to work through the examples during or after the presentation.

This presentation was made at the 2017 annual meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) in Montréal. For more information on NACIS, check out http://NACIS.org.
