Cartonama Workshop

Mapping Workshop

Location based services have become a key business for which data and tools are equally important. OpenStreeMap is both the data source, and a testing ground for mapping technologies. Whatever data source you deploy and idea you build around, choosing the right tools can be tricky. Cartonama Workshop is an intense training that will help you explore the best tools out there to manage and make the most out of your data .
