Have you been trying to learn how to digitize your own map in QGIS without any luck?

You have looked around the web, but the digitizing tutorials you find are incomplete, out-of-date, or hard to follow.

That’s understandable because most QGIS tutorials are written by time poor volunteers.

Fortunately, my QGIS tutorial for Beginners #2:Georeference, Digitize, eBook offers a solution. I teach you the beginners basics of digitizing your own maps in QGIS using videos, an 87 page eBook and a teaching dataset. Its a Step-by-Step Follow-Along style QGIS tutorial.

It is as simple as watching the videos on your computer and following along with the exercises using the FREE QGIS Software

Start now and you could be digitizing your own GIS maps this time tomorrow.

Imagine what would be like to digitize your own field studies in a timely manner, OR to stumble across a paper map that’s essential to your project, and KNOW that you can digitize it YOURSELF, TODAY, without the hassle of finding and waiting for someone else to digitize it for you. For researchers, having maps that nobody else has almost guarantees that your research will be "original".

My name is Ian Allan. I am a Masters graduate from Monash University in Melbourne Australia. While doing my post-graduate research, I co-authored the University’s first two GIS courses and taught both Grid Cell and Vector GIS to both Undergraduate and Graduate students.

Over the last 24 years I have authored and co-authored fifteen peer reviewed publications. I have worked professionally as a GIS researcher, taught GIS to thousands of students, and worked as a GIS consultant on projects as diverse as the following…

• United Nations: Post tsunami strategic planning in Banda Ache.

• Australian Federal Government: National Broadband strategic assessment.

• Victoria’s Department of Premier and Cabinet: Housing affordability modelling.

• Local Government: Environmental sustainability modelling for planners,

• Water industry: Buried water pipe condition modelling and 3d ease-of-digging modelling.

Digitizing was an essential component in almost all of these projects. It is often impossible to create original maps based solely on off-the-shelf GIS maps.

Over 7000 students have enrolled in my GIS Udemy courses alone. Here’s what some of them have had to say about my teaching style…

It was very thorough and comprehensive… Ian also covered aspects of GIS Analysis - which increases your learning and appreciation of the capabilities of how powerful the GIS tool can be. – Brian L

"Ian is vast and knowledgeable in what he teaches. I would do another course by Ian if he offered it" - Umar Y

"A very informative course. It helps me review the GIS experience I haven't used in a while and brush up on my skills. Thanks Ian." - Jayram S

"Really great introductory-level course! The examples were simple to follow, but also very useful. All the work can be finished while watching the videos, there was no extra work to be done without guidance. I really look forward to the next course by this instructor. - Cheers and well done!" - Nathan L.

"Very good background, easy to follow and helpful for a foundation of GIS." - Amelia K

"Simple and very clear lectures with the minimum basics/backgrounds to get a taste of what awaits us further and also making us think of what we can do more." -Boojhawon R

Here’s what you get…

• Free eBook. 87 pages of screen captures and explanatory text to compliment the videos.

• A 1.5 hour video based QGIS tutorial. In the videos I’ll show you how to digitize a paper map in SIX STEPS…

There are many “tricks” to successfully setting up your digitizing environment. I show you these. I also show you how to copy boundaries from other GIS maps into yours. This can sometimes cut your digitizing effort to be a fraction of what it would otherwise be.

• You get to eavesdrop as I work, and gain insight into digitizing GIS maps that you would otherwise likely overlook or possibly never grasp.

• A zip file of datasets used. Extract these and follow-along with me in the videos

• Try it risk free. If within 30 days you’re not satisfied with this QGIS tutorial for any reason return it for 100% refund and keep the dataset and the workbook.
