Support Tip: Unleash the power of rule-based symbology in QGIS! 💡

Using Mergin Maps for field work? Rule-based symbology lets you define map symbols based on a series of custom rules, perfect for visualizing multiple data points like job type and priority-on a single feature.

It's a powerful way to give your field crews the full picture instantly. We cover setup, expression filters, and performance tips for large mobile projects.

🔄 Simultaneous Syncs are here!

We have updated the Mergin Maps QGIS plugin and Python API to handle concurrent synchronisation much better.

If you are working in a team, you can now sync at the same time without blocking each other. Plus, large uploads (like massive photo batches) are now split into smaller versions to prevent timeouts. 🛠️

Sharing your #QGIS field data with stakeholders just got a lot easier. 🗺️🚀

You can now generate a public, read-only link for your projects directly from the dashboard-perfect for showing results to clients who don't have an account.

It's currently in Early Access. Want to try it out? You can request the feature via the link in our blog post: 👉 https://merginmaps.com/blog/a-final-surprise-for-the-year---shared-maps-via-url

🐘The British Geological Survey (BGS) has moved away from proprietary GIS to a fully open-source stack for field data capture using #qgis and #MerginMaps. 🗺️💻

They’ve built a custom plugin that handles complex database constraints (using GeoPackage/SQLite) directly in the field. This allows for seamless data capture on both Windows tablets and mobile devices without vendor lock-in.

It's a huge win for open science and reproducible research.

A final surprise for the year - shared maps via URL

We have a final update for the year: shared maps via URL. 🎁

This feature lets you share project overviews with people who do not have a Mergin Maps account. It is great for showing data to clients or the public simply.

It is in early access now. We would love your feedback. 🗺️✨

Did you know that you can use HTML in your Mergin Maps project to give users in the field access to information or other documents related to your survey?
