Not just a single inset map, but the ability to add multiple insets/maps in smaller boxes to the larger main map? This is common in mapping when one displays data over the Lower 48 states, for example, but also needs to include several, sometimes many inset maps to show more detail in the larger cities such as New York, Chicago, LA, etc. In ArcGIS (dare I say it) in ArcMap, I can just add new data frames, add layers and symbolize, then add to the layout (composer). What is the equivalent of doing this in QGIS 2.0? I am a QGIS newbie so please forgive me if I have missed something obvious.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you so much,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>David<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>David Chrest<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Research GIS Analyst<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>RTI International<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>3040 Cornwallis Rd, PO Box 12194<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-2194<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
