What is the difference between Usemaps and QGIS?

1 0 0 14 April 2026

Simply put:

• QGIS is like a desktop Excel (very powerful and capable of doing almost everything, but it works locally on a single computer)
• Usemaps is like Office365 (also very powerful and able to do many things, but designed for multi-user collaboration and used through a web browser)

Usemaps is a System you need when:

1. you need a tool for easy collaboration with many people,
2. when you see that Your colleagues do not want to work in QGIS,
3. when you simply want to add an attachment to an object (in QGIS this is not so straightforward)
