We made it to Venice! Getting started on our project has been interesting so far. After our first meeting with our advisors, we've been steered in the right direction. The first task Kelsey and Alex took on was learning the basics of QGIS, a powerful mapping software. While not suitable for online use, QGIS can be used to create detailed maps for project purposes. These maps might include points of all the businesses producing certain goods in each of the islands. When each island is hovered over, the number of businesses and other useful information can be shown in a popup. Overall, this is a great tool we plan to use extensively for our own purposes.
