Hello there,
In today's post, I will share how to produce a Campus Web Map using free and open source tools.
I will use ABU Zaria as an example. Let's get started....
You need the vector (shapefile) map of the campus. If you don't have one, you can easily obtain a copy from the ABU GIS unit or you can digitize your copy from available google earth satellite image.
You can use any GIS software for this... here I use a free software called QGIS.
There are several free and open source methods of deploying the shapefile map to the web. Some notable method am going to discuss in few moment include:-
1) Google Map Engine
2) QGIS2Web plugin
3) Open Street Map
4) Python Folium Library
Choose any of the methods above to create your web map (there are many guide and tutorials on the internet or contact me for help).
Happy mapping.
