Uploading Your Own Data to the Geoportal Project

How do I upload my data to the project? There are three ways to upload your own data or third-party data to the Geoportal.

• For large data sets, or if the data is to become a permanent part of the project (a new layer), please contact me directly, as importing the data may take some time. 😉 We will work with each client on an individual basis, depending on the scope and condition of their records.
• You can upload a small drawing or file yourself directly via the layer organizer in the User Data section as a temporary layer. Click the “plus” button and select a file from your computer’s storage, or you can drag and drop the file(s) directly into the Geoportal onto the “+” button. The User Data feature in the Layer Organizer allows you to upload your own data in the following formats: SHP, DGN, DWG, DXF.
• The third option is to connect a remote data source via the WMS (Web Map Service) protocol as a temporary layer. You can add it to your project in the Layer Organizer under the User Data section. This allows you to view your data from another system as a WMS, as well as other publicly available thematic maps. These can include flood maps, protected areas, transportation accessibility, terrain maps, bike routes, and other maps from public sources.

When launching a new project in the Mawis Geoportal, we’ll help you prepare your data. We can work with a wide variety of data formats (there are approximately 200). We’ll check the data during import to ensure that everything is uploaded correctly to Mawis.
