Abstract

Join us for a hands-on session where we will implement the offline map server “UNVT Portable,” developed under the UN OpenGIS Initiative. This session will focus on building “UNVT Portable” and learning how to use web map technology in offline environments, which is particularly useful during disasters or in areas with unstable internet connections. We will also cover the basic use of Raspberry Pi, a cost-effective and versatile tool.
