For anyone interested in trying out QGIS, I’ve put together a folder with a complete QGIS project and a selection of raster and vector data for you to explore.
The archive includes:
- Some of the usual border and protected area data we’ve been sharing on this site for years (some of which seriously need updating) – lakes, regions, protected areas;
- December 2011 OpenStreetMap road data for the whole country, with a rule-based rendering system that renders various road levels as you zoom in; it matches the OSM default web rendering as much as possible.
- GTOPO low-resolution DEM for the country (as a JPEG) with elevation colours customised in the layer.
Download QGIS if you haven’t already (www.qgis.org), open the tz_elevations.qgs file, and play!
