You can access Open Street Map in the Browser panel ( add the panel if you don’t see it) under XYZ Tile (see image below). QGIS comes with Open Street Map available by default. A blue box will show where the panel will be snapped. To create a tabbed panel (see image above) drag and hold one panel on top of another. Panels will snap to the top, side, and bottom of the QGIS interface. To move a panel, click and hold at the top of the panel, near its title, then drag to the desired location. Toolbars will snap to the top and side of the QGIS interface. To move a toolbar, click and hold on its far left side, then drag to the desired location. QGIS toolbars and panels can be moved around the interface. You can remove a panel or toolbar by unchecking its box from the View menu. Select a panel or toolbar to add it to the interface (see image below). Then hover over the Panels or Toolbars option and you will see the available panels and toolbars. If you find a toolbar or panel is missing it is easy to add it back to the interface. Adding, Removing, and Moving QGIS Toolbars and Panels From the Browser panel, you can navigate through directories and add files to the QGIS interface by clicking and dragging (we’ll do that in just a minute). The Browser panel displays your computer’s file structure and other data sources. You can highlight/select a layer by clicking on its name in the Layers panel. Note: Some operations will only be performed on a layer that is highlighted (or selected) in the Layers panel. You can access information about these layers by right-clicking, or double-clicking, on a layer in this panel. Anytime you add a vector, raster, or tabular data file it will be displayed in the Layers panel. The layers panel displays the different data layers that you have loaded into QGIS. First I want to give you an overview of the Layers and Browser panels since we’ll be using them frequently. Your panels may not be tabbed, as shown in the image, but you can create tabbed panels following the directions below. In the image below the panels are in a tabbed configuration on the left side of the interface. These are the panels you will probably use most frequently in QGIS. They are the Layers panel and the Browser panel. There are two panels that will probably be open by default when you run QGIS for the first time. They can be docked to the interface edges or be free-floating. Panels and toolbars can be dragged around the interface. The QGIS interface is composed of the main menu and a number of panels and toolbars. This tutorial was developed with QGIS 3.20. ![]() ![]() Even if you have a newer QGIS version the layout and location of functions and tools should be almost identical. This will take you to the main QGIS interface, which should look similar to the image below. Once you have installed QGIS, run the program. This guide will walk you through QGIS installation, step-by-step. ![]() The installation process is simple but it will take a little time for the installation files to download and be installed on your machine. INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM GIS FOR FREEQGIS can be installed for free on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM GIS FULLMy full course for QGIS beginners includes a downloadable data package and step-by-step video instructions. Data used in this tutorial can be downloaded from their online data sources. INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM GIS HOW TOThis tutorial demonstrates how to install QGIS, set up and locate functions and tools in the QGIS interface, add spatial and tabular data to QGIS, perform simple GIS analysis, and create a formal map. This tutorial will take you from a new QGIS beginner to an understanding of how to customize the QGIS interface, add data, find tools, and perform basic analysis. You don’t need any previous GIS or QGIS knowledge to complete this tutorial. This tutorial will walk you through the basics of QGIS so you can start doing analysis and making maps. INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM GIS SOFTWAREIf you’re new to GIS or are transitioning to QGIS from a different software there can be a learning curve at first. ![]()
