Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the practical process of developing a geographically focused application. The course is purely practically oriented, based only on practical examples, conceived as "tips and tricks" for using geoinformatics tools in practice. It includes a semester project, containing practical field data collection using a drone and incorporation into your own geoapplication. The course is completed by a practical verification of skills with the acquired systems.

Prerequisites
Basics of knowledge of web cartography + RS
