Join me in this step-by-step follow-along style practical QGIS tutorial. I'll have you exploring maps, thematic mapping and solving geographical problems in no time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn part 1\u003c\/b\u003e, you'll download and install QGIS 3, and the practice dataset. Then you'll learn basic QGIS skills like opening maps, tables and air photos, and zooming, panning and interactive querying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn part 2\u003c\/b\u003e, you'll learn how to harness the relationship between maps and tables to simplify complex geographical problems. You'll gain insights into thematic mapping - selecting color schemes and the need to validate your maps. And you'll put your new skills into practice with two thematic mapping projects: shading a data category map and creating time series maps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this QGIS tutorial, you will learn...\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to download and install QGIS 3.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to open, navigate and interpret GIS maps and air photos.
