absolutely agree. I have studied GIS in Prague for two years and i was convinced that arcgis is a master tool of the gods (because students there used to make all projects in arcgis). But i like qgis because of its flexibility, you can customize everything! opensource products are always more flexible for users' needs
This video starts off very well. He is slow and careful, describing each step and giving context. As described, by the middle of the video his approach changes and he uses sped-up video. He only infrequently describes where he is going to locate and interface with parts of the program, requiring the user to stop repeatedly to see what he clicked on to bring up one of the many, many (many many) interface boxes. I had to repeat sections over and over again, as I moved from video to program to copy actions and find where I was supposed to be. That said, this is a solid teaching tool and I will try his other tutorials. Thanks Klas Karlsson
The old compliment sandwich. Not bad considering he has done this out of the benefit of a wide range of people, for free, and likely in his own time. I'm not sure how much this would cost me if I was going to pay, but I would, considering the standard and engagement he builds as a teacher.
Can I just say wow. This is an amazing resource. Thank you for what is the best introduction to QGIS I have seen! I would LOVE a video on symbology and advanced annotation features you hint at around 25:00. This will take my fantasy tabletop RPG map making to another level!
Thanks for the great video. I used to use ArcGIS at work before retiring a couple of years ago. Felt like creating some maps to support my personal interest in railroad history. Downloaded QGIS but felt overwhelmed learning a different GIS program on my own (as well as recalling the basics of GIS after 2 years of inactivity). This video really helped to bring me back up to speed quickly. I'm sure I'll refer to it often.
Holy crap this is such a good video. I'm doing an online course but the lecturer uses arcGIS and I'd rather not shell out an absurd amount of money to buy it so I've been using QGIS. It's confusing as hell but thanks to you I have a much better understanding now!
I congratulate you on your amazing explanation which makes me happy and understand. It is a great pleasure for me to be one of your students on your youtube channel which I have been following QGIS for beginner. you are the best
Would you make a "Part 2" video of this tutorial to get us past the very basics? I got so much from this beginning version, but I'd love to learn more and I really like your teaching style! Thank you so much for your hard work and generosity!
i need some help about QGIS could you help me out with it , as i have just started using this software i need to know something if you could help please let me know fa16bscs0009@maju.edu.pk if you can help just email me here or reply me thanks
I am teaching myself PostGIS right now, and I am amazed at how much you helped me to get a much better understanding of all the different parts (attributes, polygons, etc.) that it deals with! As an unexpected bonus, it game me a great primer for working with GIS tools! I am also blown away by how many of the concepts in Blender apply here, but then again, that should come as no surprise! Many, many thanks!
This was a great introduction to QGIS. thanks! I've already watched a few other intro videos, so it's great to see the same options selected and a different explanation for it.
The content is very nice, but what's even more important is that you are very talented in explaining things in a video. To me, this is also a tutorial on how to make tutorials
Thank you very much Klas Karlson. Indeed, your video helps me a lot to understand the basic application of QGIS features. I am very grateful to you. I will be searching more of your videos to learn more about QGIS applications. God bless!
I’m really amazed, kinda speechless actually ! Long story short line; I am a MacOS person that have been using ArcGIS (On a bootcamp Windows) for 3 years at least, and uggh never liked the software, as a graphics enthusiast never felt user-friendly or appealing it feels so old-fashioned and complicated, nevertheless QGis is the opposite! Your tutorial made me download QGis in the very few instance! So excited to dig it a bit deeper ! Ps: it’s enough it has the OPACITY option gushhh 😭!

TQ. I like the video. At the very least it taught me how pan by half clicking the mouse scroll button. I did know about zooming using the mouse scroll button. And found temporary pan and arrow keys panning.
An excellent introduction to getting started in QGIS and by default, GIS in general. it is easy to stop and rewind the video during the later sections where the author speeds up the video. I believe it is also possible to slow down RUclips videos.
im a proficient user of qgis and teacher at university and i was browsing tutorials ideas for my students and i am a sub of yours so i checked your channel and i found this tutorial which is epic for first time users thank you so much for this channel where i can direct my students for more additional help, a quick question what linux u are using ?
Thanks! I'm distrohopping frequently, but I tend to stick with Ubuntu based ones. I think the one in the video was Ubuntu Budgie. It's nice, good looking, and just works.
Great help for me to get refreshed everytime the quickest way possible! I hope you also do SWAT+ in the near future. My sincere thanks for this well made tutorials
Thank you for this. Great video and I've become a subscriber so I can use all your educational content to teach myself GIS while I'm waiting for my yrkesutbildning to start in nine months.
@@KlasKarlsson I'm already a subscriber, I'll surely check them out! This video was great. I want to be able to create soil and vegetation maps for agricultural use.
i have followed your videos last year to learn basics it help me a lot please can you upload videos on georeferencing of maps either from cadastral or AutoCAD based map
This was by FAR the most helpful QGIS tutuorial I've watched yet - thank you so much! If you don't mind me asking - I can't figure out the scalebar on the maps? I can get it on there, and even change the units, but once I print them, it doesn't like up with any scale I actually use. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong here? Thanks again.
I took an "upper level" college class on ArcGIS, and honest to gosh, this video taught me more about QGIS than I ever learnt in that class
Qgis is more powerful

What do you use it for ?
@@mokujin29 i have many questions to what lead you to write that
Just landed on QGIS with zero knowledge. That you so much sir, this helped me soooooo much
Very clear and quick introduction, thank you! This finally got me started in Qgis.
Ive been struggling for two hours to even get started and when you typed in "world" I was dumbfounded on how easy you made everything!
I really like the video, the information pacing and the calm voice. Very good first introduction!
I used to work with ArcGIS but it sucks so I just started to learn QGIS and your videos are very helpful. Thanks a lot.
This is an excellent tutorial. I've been using QGIS for several years and still learned a lot!

you were great in explaining effectively what a beginner needs to know
Thanks for this! Everything seems so much more manageable now coming at this with zero GIS experience.
Klas, thank-you very much. This was a great introduction and really helpful for me (transitioning to QGIS from previous experience of ArcMap).
The best teaching for beginners on RUclips 👍
This way of teaching is way more effective than my university has sometimes

Fantastic, Klas. Time very well spent.
Thank you for this video. It was useful for me except the last third about creating an island. Anyway it's a good job. Thanks
God bless you man !! Thank you for sharing the knowledge ... Ur the best :D
Thank you for sharing this video! I am using ArcGIS and Global Mapper but I found this is useful to understand the GIS software 😊👍
For those who can't finish their polygon layer by right-clicking. Please move your "temporary land layer" on the top of your "world map layer"
And don't forget to turn on the checkbox!
Thank you so much!! My world is now covered in weird shapes (-:
Thank you for this!! It helped us so much to gain a basic understanding on QGIS!
Great video, thank you very much! 😀
Thank you from Ukraine!
Really glad you did this video. The other videos are for persons already adept at QGIS
Awesome, man! What you taught is clear and amazing, thank you!
Very thankful for this
Thank you really much for the video!
Day 92 of quarantine and I don't know what I am watching
😂😂😂
Thank you so much, this is a great introduction!
Such a great and informative video. Thank you very much.
Excellent beginner tutorial! Really helps!!!
Excellent work thank you. I would really appreciate a tutorial on Qfield and creating a template for a project
Thanks! Very helpful! Keep up the good work. God bless!
Subscribed. This is excellent. Thank you very much for posting.
Thank you! Finally I understood the attribute tables and to use the labels
Nice explanation and useful for learners. Thank you very much.
thanks for the wicked fast video
Truly outstanding video, sir. Thank you.
Fantastic job!!! Thanks for the help, Mr. Karlsson!
Simply explained

great Video, this helped me a lot : )
Thanks. This was very informative.
Thank you for sharing knowledge for absolute beginners:)
Brilliant tutorial. Thank you so much, have given you a "like".
great video! thank you!
The satisfaction when you've gone through the whole thing! Is there a follow-up video for this one?
There's no "part two" to the video, but there's a lot of other, more specific videos about QGIS on the channel.
@@KlasKarlsson I'm already a subscriber, I'll surely check them out! This video was great. I want to be able to create soil and vegetation maps for agricultural use.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the labels to show up? I did everything right until that point but the labels aren't showing up on my map!
I have the same issue - when I type label name in the field, it doesn't appear
Thank you so much, finally a qgis's tutorial I understand !
i have followed your videos last year to learn basics it help me a lot
please can you upload videos on georeferencing of maps either from cadastral or AutoCAD based map
