Interactive Web Mapping with Leaflet and Turf.js

Modern web applications often require more than just a static map; they need interactive tools to visualize and analyze geographic data directly in the browser. This course guides you through the process of building functional web-based GIS applications using open-source tools. You will transform raw geographic data into engaging, interactive web interfaces. By the end of this course, you will be able to render maps, manage complex data layers, and perform meaningful spatial analysis without relying on heavy server-side processing. What you'll learn: - Understand core GIS concepts, coordinate systems, and web mapping terminology. - Initialize interactive maps and configure diverse basemap providers for different use cases. - Load, filter, and style GeoJSON data using modern JavaScript syntax. - Implement interactive map controls, dynamic popups, and custom layer toggles. - Perform client-side spatial analysis like buffering and point-in-polygon checks with Turf.js. - Apply responsive design principles to ensure maps are accessible on both desktop and mobile devices. The course starts with foundational definitions and setup before moving into practical implementation of data layers and spatial operations. This text-based program is designed for beginners with basic HTML and JavaScript knowledge who want to enter the world of web GIS. Start building your own spatial web applications today.
