]
So, why choose this course?

There?s been a huge rise in online courses covering this topic, and one
common theme runs through nearly all of them: the *tmap* package.

Most spatial mapping in R relies on *tmap* ? developed by *Dr. Martijn
Tennekes*, with contributions from *Dr. Jakub Nowosad* and others. [Explore
the package here <https://r-tmap.github.io/tmap/> ]. And who better to
learn from than the creators themselves?

This free session is a preview of our longer, *20-hour interactive
course* coming
this November:

Spatial Data Visualisation and Mapping using tmap
<https://www.prstats.org/course/spatial-data-visualisation-and-mapping-using-tmap-tmap02/>
