Creating Your First Map Project
Get to know the GEO MAPID dashboard and workspace
In the previous video, you were introduced to GIS and GEO MAPID in general. Now we go more technical: understand the GEO MAPID UI/UX & workspace that forms the foundation for managing spatial projects on this platform.
What You’ll Learn
-
Folder & Project Management
Organize multiple projects efficiently
-
Adding New Layers
From Add New Layer, Upload File, Connect to API, Join Table, to Import Data.
-
Layer Management
Keep your projects neat and structured
-
Right-hand Panels (Data, SINI, TOOL)
Access analysis & AI features
-
Creating Your very first Layer
The foundation before starting digitization.
Why It Matters
By understanding the workspace you work more efficiently. Well-organized project and layer management makes spatial analysis faster, easier to reproduce, and scalable for research or business needs.
