In this video you will learn: A functionality overview of the Map Window and the Map Layers Window

There’s a whole bunch of stuff you can do in the Map Window. As you would expect, you can display a map! But you can also zoom in and out, pan (move the map sideways), and even do some simple mouse-based query (click on something with your mouse and find stuff out about it).

However, the engine-room for QGIS is the Layers Window. From here you can make maps display (or not), you can change the order of maps (so they appear on top of or underneath other maps), and you can change the map’s properties (eg. its color). This is a good time to have a play with changing the order of maps.
