Summary

In this chapter, we built on our knowledge of the vector data model and learned how to use vector data effectively with queries, filters, joins, and attribute manipulation. Great work! Now we can firmly use our vector layers to work only with the relevant part and derive more valuable information from the existing data.

In the next chapter, we will use our skills to style our data and create beautiful visualizations with it. We will also learn where, why, and how we should create a custom digital map instead of overlaying our data on already existing base maps. Additionally, we will learn how projections work and how they can aid us in our projects.
