[Qgis-user] Multiple Map/Data Frames?

[Chrest, David]

Folks,

 

Can "multiple data frames" be created in QGIS to add to composer? 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.

 

Thank you so much,

David
