Power BI for Enviro’s Meetup - January Event!
What we'll do
Well we made it through so welcome to 2021 everyone - we're excited to announce our first session of the year focused on spatial visualisation with our mapping masterclass!
The line-up for the January 2021 edition includes:
1) Getting started with the Icon Map: Alice Drummond (~ 25 mins)
The Icon Map is a powerful mapping visual that allows us to display points, polylines and polygons altogether - by leveraging the MapBox custom tilesets we can provide really rich spatial context to our data - Alice will take us through getting started with the Icon Map, and answer your questions on how best to apply it!
2) Mapbox API’s: Idris Syed (~25 mins):
Idris will guide us through the Mapbox API, and show how you can automate your spatial dataflow using this feature.
3) Developing interactive maps using Carto: Chandni Gupta (~ 25 mins)
Chandni will take us through how to develop interactive maps with Carto, using a customised Mapbox basemap. She'll also show how we can then embed these maps into our websites to share with a wider audience. If you want to learn more about the session, here is a link to a map Chandni recently developed using Carto: https://chandnig.carto.com/builder/36a1d168-a907-4326-95fa-31b5c95b95ad/embed
There will be an opportunity for 5 minutes' worth of questions for each presenter at the end of their sessions.
4) We will have 15 minutes available for Q&A at the end of the session!!
