Hi all Welcome Motivation - to be able to generate and manipulate maps (I work with Search and Rescue in BC (by work, I mean, I do it for free :) - and a desire to understand mapping better. You probably want to begin working with the QGIS manual available: http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/doc/manual/qgis-1.7.0_user_guide_en.pdf I went here Not the easiest dataset to begin with! Try for the start to display just these three layers (uncheck all the others) 092j07_8_0_FO_1030009_1 092j07_8_0_EN_1120009_1 092j07_8_0_TO_1580009_2 Now double click on the last one, a point layer of towns. Go to the "Labels" tab, and check "Display labels", then in the "Field containing label" dropdown, select the field named NAMEEN. And ckick Apply. Look any more friendly? and downloaded the ESRI shape file - which turns out to be a zip file of a bunch of files. ........now I know that this is my lack of understanding and not a qgis failing. Can anyone help get me kick-started a little here please? (or just get me kicked if that fees better :)
