Data Visualization
Tidal-corrected data should be edited using GIS software and uploaded to a central location which can be shared with your stakeholders. This allows you to provide data to participants in the format that best fits their needs. KML files are typically too large to easily manage. If a participant does not have a particular format in mind, suggest providing .shp files, which can be visualized in QGIS using the instructions provided on the QGIS: Data visualization page.
