[Qgis-user] Ideas for an intro to QGIS for beginners

[Chris Yesson]

Hi Manning,

Something else you might consider showing is the geo-referencer.  
I found a lot of interest in this from researchers and students at the
zoo, many of whom have old images they want to extract data from.

Hi Maning,
wildlife biologist and conservationists here! ;)

I would suggest you to show also the gps tools (downloading/uploading
waypoints/tracks from gps units) and the live gps tracking.

cheers
