Creating Great Maps

In this chapter, we will cover some of the important features of QGIS that enable us to create great maps. We will also learn how to label features, which can now be done interactively in QGIS 3. QGIS 3 has improved the way maps are created with new print layout tools. We will look at these in detail in the coming sections, before looking at ways of sharing data at the end of the chapter.

Topics covered in this chapter include the following:

  • Communicating with data
  • Labeling
  • Creating maps
  • Loading data
  • Map outputs
QGIS 3 is used on a worldwide basis to produce stunning maps. To get an idea of the maps that QGIS is capable of producing, visit the following link: https://www.flickr.com/groups/qgis/pool/.
