Description

Session Goal

The main goal of this session was to explore and transition mapping projects from ARCGIS to Mapbox, focusing on cost optimization and improving workflow efficiency.

Key Activities

• Reviewed the ‘Mapa Estadístico de la Pobreza’ project, which uses interactive web maps to visualize socioeconomic data in Argentina.
• Transitioned from ARCGIS to Mapbox due to cost concerns, with a focus on using Mapbox for its affordability and functionality.
• Encountered initial challenges with the Mapbox CLI that led to unexpected costs, but learned to optimize the workflow to prevent future issues.
• Explored Mapbox’s features, learning experiences, and best practices compared to competitors in the geospatial mapping space.

Achievements

• Successfully transitioned mapping projects to Mapbox, optimizing costs and improving project setup.
• Gained insights into best practices for using Mapbox and managing budgets effectively.

Pending Tasks

• Further exploration of Mapbox’s advanced features and potential integration with other geospatial tools.
• Continuous monitoring of cost implications and workflow efficiency improvements.
