Mapbox is a live location data platform powering maps and navigation experiences for mobile, web, gaming, and automotive. The Mapbox Education program works with instructors and students across disciplines to connect the classroom to the latest that the Mapbox platform has to offer: Design beautiful maps in Mapbox Studio, develop interactive web maps with Mapbox GL JS, and use Mapbox APIs and kits to build location-based games and mobile apps. During this hands-on session, you will learn how to work with Mapbox Studio to upload custom data, add it to a template style, use filters to style your data, and publish and share your map designs! The session will end with a brief overview of how to publish your custom basemap and data to a basic web map.
Afternoon Sessions (1:30PM – 4:00PM EST)
NG9-1-1 GIS: Where to Start
Instructor: Jessica Frye, GeoComm Project Manager
NG9-1-1 is reliant on highly accurate local GIS data. With standards and guides available, we will discuss the topics that most impact the preparation of GIS data for NG9-1-1 such as, required data layers, mandatory fields and the values that populate them, common topological issues and other Kentucky specific NG9-1-1 related topics identified as counties are being onboarded to the state’s QC system, GIS Data Hub.
GIS Professional Certification
Instructor: Ann Johnson, GeoTech Center
Are you considering becoming a GISP? Want to know more about the exam that is part of the process to become a Certified GIS Professional?
