QGIS for Beginners #2:Georeference, Digitize in QGIS3 +eBook

Join me, a geography and GIS researcher, teacher, modeler and consultant since 1993, in my six-step process to digitize your own paper maps using equipment every office has.

I’ll have you georeferencing in QGIS and on-screen (heads up) digitizing in QGIS, using your own maps, in no time.

I teach you the beginner basics of digitizing your own maps in QGIS using videos, an 87 page eBook and a teaching dataset. It’s a step-by-step follow-along style QGIS tutorial.

I’ll teach you the exact QGIS digitizing and QGIS georeferencing methods I’ve used for aboriginal heritage, ecological, wastewater, infrastructure, housing and demographic studies. The maps I digitized allowed for site level assessment and often spatial modelling as well. They brought new (often critical) understanding to each project.

That could be you too! Imagine what would be like to digitize your own maps, yourself, today, without the wait, hassle and expense of finding someone else to digitize it for you.

Here’s what some of the 3400+ students in this QGIS tutorial have to to say about my teaching style…

“Picked up new ways of digitising, thank you.” – Mark L

" Well explained. Short but complete course on how to georeference and digitize. " – Jonas V

" I just finished a college level GIS course that taught me every thing I’ve learned in this excellent series of courses, but it cost 10 times as much. Great course and very informative!" – Christopher C

" A very good beginners course which gives a good amount of detail regarding the GIS theory. I enjoyed the content that was supplied and found myself learning quickly and spending lots of time in between lectures playing around with what I had just been taught.” - Stravos L.

" Good course! The instruction is clear and engaging and the exercises reflect real-world application.” – Anna R

"Congratulations on the clarity of the handouts and videos; they make it possible to easily follow very complex sequences of commands. Excellent introduction to georeferencing and digitizing maps." - GB

HERE'S WHAT YOU GET…

• Free eBook. 87 pages of screen captures and explanatory text to compliment the videos.

• A 1.5 hour video based QGIS tutorial. In the videos I’ll show you how to digitize a paper map in SIX EASY STEPS that involve scanning, georeferencing and on-screen digitizing your map.

• Tricks for successfully setting up your digitizing environment.

• Time saving techniques like copying boundaries from other GIS maps into yours.

• You get to eavesdrop as I work, and gain insight into digitizing GIS maps that you would otherwise likely overlook or possibly never grasp.

• A zip file of datasets used. Extract these and follow-along with me in the videos.

• Try it risk free. If within 30 days you’re not satisfied with this QGIS tutorial for any reason return it for 100% refund and keep the dataset and the workbook.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. This QGIS tutorial does not use ARC. Does this matter?

A. No, it doesn’t matter. I teach you the basics of georeferencing and digitizing in QGIS. The concepts you'll learn are applicable to ALL GISs, even Arc.

Q. I have no experience with QGIS. Does that matter?

A. Although no previous Geographical Information Systems knowledge needed, ideally you will be able to do some simple tasks in QGIS. Tasks such as Opening a Map, zooming, panning, etc. I teach these basic skills in QGIS tutorial for Beginners #1.

Q. I am worried that this QGIS tutorial will be like many other technical courses - abstract and hard to follow.

A. I have based all the exercises on the type of practical every-day GIS problems that I encounter day-to-day in my GIS consultancy. Download the teaching dataset and follow-along with the videos. Pause, rewind, fast-forward, speed up or slow down the videos as you need to.
