QGIS Lesson 6 - Introducing the browser panel and creating shortcuts in QGIS

Welcome to DMAD’s sixth online GIS lesson, the browser panel and creating shortcuts in QGIS. In this lesson we will be introducing you to the browser and how to create favourites which will save you lots of time once it’s set up.

We will use these skills to bring some vector data and create a map of the administrative areas of Turkey.

If you want to extend the lesson further and copy what Tim does then you can download the extension file above.

Both these files are originally from DIVA GIS which is a fantastic resource for country level data. We highly recommend that you visit it and check it out for yourselves!
