Desktop mapping consists in using computer to perform digital mapping functions, often using GIS (Geographical Information System) softwares. Common GIS softwares include ArcGIS (licenced) and QGIS (open source). A QGIS comes with a detailed step-by-step workflow is provided in QGIS, to facilitate facilitating the production of basic maps. Having an easy access to local map templates greatly speeds up the process of making maps during an emergency. For IMO without GIS experience, it is also easy to make maps using MS PowerPoint or MS Word, by converting GIS shapefiles to Enhanced Graphic Files. An IMO with GIS software can easily convert the administration boundaries for use in PowerPoint and share them. Some desktop mapping tools are provided in the documents folders on top of this page.
