QGIS Course 2 Lesson 5 – Coordinate Reference Systems Part 3 – Geographic and projected coordinate systems

Hi and welcome to the fifth lesson in DMAD – Marine Mammals Research Association’s second free QGIS course. This course if for beginners to intermediates. In this lesson we will talk about geographic and projected coordinate systems and some of the issues that arise when we swap between them. This lecture is a little longer than some of our others but try and stick with it as its really important that we understand why we’re doing what we’re doing and don’t just do things blindly.
