The text highlights various projects utilizing geographic information system (GIS) tools, specifically QGIS and Felt, to create informative maps for different purposes. It describes an origin-destination flow map visualizing corn shipments from Ukraine to countries involved in the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a map showing direct flights from San Francisco International Airport, a creative map illustrating gray whale migration with an ocean-focused design, and a map depicting the top crops in each California county based on acreage. Each project showcases the combination of QGIS for data processing and analysis with Felt for styling and sharing, demonstrating the synergy between desktop GIS capabilities and modern web-based collaboration tools. The projects emphasize the ease and effectiveness of using these tools to convey complex spatial information and encourage further exploration and sharing of maps online.
