In this session, Anna Hill and Steven Kay, both from EDINA, walk through what Global Digimap includes: Collins Bartholomew, Natural Earth, global overlays, and Overture Maps. They will also demonstrate how to view, style and combine layers, draw areas of interest, and download data in formats like GeoPackage and File Geodatabase.
