  • There is more great data available in the data directory - have a look !

    This information has been collected by the natural Earth project. Their website contains more detailed downloads and a host of additional data.

    Try downloading the same data at several scales and compare the results.

  • Try right-clicking on a Layer - there is plenty to do (especially in the Operations menu).

  • Try making use of spatial information from your organisation or government.

  • Try out the navigation tools such as Zoom and Pan. The Navigation menu lets you you retrace your steps.

    Changing coordinate reference system is also considered a navigation command.

  • Advanced: Use the Style Editor to switch automatically from a raster layer to a web service.

    Switching based on scale allows for performance when zoomed out, while still providing full resolution when zoomed in.

  • Advanced: Open the Style Editor and have a look at the Advanced (XML) page and see what you make of it.

  • Perhaps you have an idea for the tool you always wanted?

    Developer tutorials including how to make a custom tool and create a custom application are available on the project web site.

  • If you are not stuck behind a firewall you can try Adding a Layer from PostGIS.

  • Additional features can be installed Install Plugin.
