The maps you want to publish can be shared through a link or embed at websites like we embedded on the AMAZONES project. You can customize all aspects: layout, maps information, legends and even create interesting interactions. Mappia is fully documented with working examples.
All the platforms created in Mappia have an editor mode, and can be accessed by replacing the '/calculator/' by '/editor/' in platform url.

After finalizing publication, the 'Mappia Publisher' (QGIS plugin) generate and opens a browser window with a link. To share the link is simple to display your own interactive Mappia platform using the provided data.
To embed Mappia customizaed platform at a website you just need to copy and paste the following HTML code, copy paste this HTML code, just replace the 'src' url to the customized platform (HTML code):
<iframe src="//maps.csr.ufmg.br/calculator/?&queryid=19 width="100%" height="600"></iframe>

Just edit or view a platform code just change the link url from '/calculator/' to '/editor/'. For example:
The platform : https://maps.csr.ufmg.br/calculator/?queryid=188
can be Edited: https://maps.csr.ufmg.br/editor/?queryid=188 .
This project is focused on colaborative work, and was design to grant easy access and map sharing for all the comunity.
Take a look into our complete documentation customization and combine maps from WMS/WMT/GitHub Repository, with no additional limitations.

This service is composed of three main components: QGIS for Map rendering, GitHub for File Storage and Mappia for integration and display results.

This step consists mainly of generating tiles (tiles are graphical representation of a small part of the map) for online displaying through a range of zoom levels. At each given position and scale, one tile is displayed, and all tiles put together create the visualization of the map. The style of the map is the same of that of QGIS, so you can define the map style in QGIS and view it online.
The plugin developped in QGIS will generate the tiles and upload it to GitHub.

This step is mainly about authenticating the file storage. The GitHub is a free online repository used to store the map tiles, metadata, legends and any other information about the maps.
To communicate with the GitHub site a 'Git client' is mandatory and is automatically downloaded if not found, the client consists of a program that implements the protocol of message exchange at their server (the official Git executable can be found at https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis/). The repository is a place where all the data is stored, it is identified by a combination of a 'Repository name' and an 'Username'. The repository can be accessed replacing the uppercase words in link https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY_NAME for their respective values.
The data stored in GitHub are fully under the control of the account owner, the Mappia has no control of it. You can publish, delete, edit data on your own without Mappia interference.

Mappia offers a free service to display maps oonline (like WMS or WTS) along with customization advantages. Mappia integrates the QGIS generated tiles stored at GitHub. Mappia allows map customization by using a user-friendly interface or directly developing by javascript code. It is very useful for educational purposes, collaborative mapping, maps sharing or any other projects.
Mappia identifies all maps at GitHub repositories and allows the user to display them in many customized ways using various predefined elements and interactions described at mappia.earth. To display the maps Mappia platform just loads the map tiles and squares them at the right geographic position directly from the GitHub. This allows it to work even without a private server.
The user can even share his source maps (Github has a 2GB Map limit size), this is controlled by parameter 'Upload maps', and the others users can easily download directly from the Mappia platform.
