This half-day workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to Avenza Maps. You will learn how to prepare your data, create geospatial PDFs in ArcGIS, upload them to Avenza Maps on a tablet or smartphone, and use them in a short field exercise. We will also cover the basics of using and sharing data collected with Avenza Maps. Participants will walk away with the tools and knowledge to apply the workflows used in the workshop to support their own projects.
