Designing custom basemaps with Mapbox Studio

MaptimeMIA is back! Join us for our next meeting and learn how to use Mapbox Studio to create and design beautiful basemaps. This event is useful for anyone wishing to improve the looks and quality of their maps. Whether you are a student working on a project, a developer creating smartphone apps or someone who just likes to tell stories with maps, this event is for you! These maps can be used in GIS software as a background layer and in web maps so possibilities are endless. Beginners are welcome! Don't forget to bring your laptops as this is a hands-on event.

Mapbox Studio (https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-studio/) is the Mapbox application for managing your geospatial data and designing custom map styles. Use Mapbox Studio to build and design a map to your exact specifications by uploading and editing your own data, utilizing Mapbox-provided tilesets, adding custom fonts and icons, or simply refining the built-in template map styles. With Mapbox Studio, full data management and design control are at your fingertips.

Since this is our first meeting after a long absence, we will also ask for your input as to were you would like to see Maptime going in the future. We are planning to host monthly meetups again with interesting talks and learning opportunities. Come spend an evening with us, talk about maps and help shape the future MaptimeMIA events! We'd love to see you there.
