[Qgis-user] how to identify individual points on a map

[Ramon Andiñach]

I'm also confused. It reads to me that  the lat/longs are in the data file already. 

If that's the case, wouldn't the Identify Features Tool do what you need?

(By default this only shows information from the currently selected layer, but this can be changed in Settings->Options->Map Tools)

-ramon.
