Mapping

Waqwaq offers an automated webservice that ingest georeferences files and delivers maps. This service allows you to produce maps of your own data that show:

• spatial distribution of locations in your datasets
• quantities per locations
• statistical summary
• contextual information on the locations
• various symbologies and basemaps

A step-by-step guide explains how to generate your own maps with Waqwaq.

The following example is a map generated with the Waqwaq webservice and a Waqwaq dataset showing the localities where printing was taking place in Europe before year 1500, during the early days of European printing technology.
