We will use the Natural Earth dataset - specifically the Natural Earth Quick Start Kit that comes with beautifully styled global layers that can be loaded directly to QGIS.
QGIS is a popular open-source GIS with advanced capabilities. This website contains a series of tutorials and tips that show you how to use it to tackle common GIS problems.
In this tutorial, we will be using kite and balloon imagery collected by The Public Laboratory. They make the georeferenced versions of the images also available, but we will download a non-georeferenced JPG image and go through the process of georeferencing it in QGIS.
Now let’s create a map using these styled layers along with map elements like, scale bar, north arrow, labels etc. QGIS comes with a Print Layout that allows composing maps.
QGIS has a tool called Atlas that can help you create a map template and easily publish a large number of maps for different geographic regions. If you are not familiar with the basics of Print Layout, please go through the Making a Map tutorial.
This tutorial shows how to make features dynamically update as you move your cursor in the QGIS Canvas. We will implement canvas brushing using expressions to make features respond to the cursor movement.
Plugins in QGIS add useful features to the software. Plugins are written by QGIS developers and other independent developers who want to extend the core functionality of the software.
Fortunately, there are tools available to easily translate your work in QGIS to web maps. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the QGIS2Web plugin to create a web map using OpenLayers or Leaflet libraries from your QGIS project.
The QGIS community that has created a lot of good documentation and resources that one can use to learn the software as well as GIS techniques. Here are a few selected external resources.
