How to Publish Web Maps with QGIS Cloud
Introduction to QGIS Cloud
- QGIS Cloud is a platform for online publication of maps, data, and services. The video aims to guide users in creating and editing professional maps using QGIS.
- It emphasizes the efficient dissemination of geospatial information through public sharing on qgiscloud.com.
Step 1: Installing the QGIS Cloud Plugin
- To begin, install the QGIS Cloud plugin by navigating to the "Plugins" menu in QGIS and selecting "Manage and Install Plugins."
- Search for "QGIS Cloud" in the plugin window, select it, and click "Install." A notification will confirm successful installation.
Step 2: Registering on QGIS Cloud
- Create an account at qgiscloud.com by providing a username, email address, password, and accepting terms and conditions.
- After registration, check your email for confirmation. Keep your credentials safe as they are necessary for map creation and publication.
Step 3: Preparing Your Project
- Ensure that your project does not exceed 50 MB for free version usage. This example uses vector data from Mexico City's 16 boroughs.
- The first layer includes diverse metadata about each borough related to noise complaints; another layer contains centroid data reflecting citizen complaints about noise in 2022.
Step 4: Publishing Your Project
- Log into the QGIS Cloud panel with your credentials. Click on "Load Data," then save your project locally while adding a background layer (OpenStreetMap).
- Finally, click "Publish Map" to generate a link for viewing the map online.
Analyzing Noise Complaints Data
- The analysis reveals that Cuauhtémoc borough had the highest number of noise complaints (215), followed by Benito Juárez (100), and Miguel Hidalgo (62).
