Hi QGISers, I just came from a conference on wildlife conservation and I met a person whose interested in buying ESRI Arcview for their simple mapping needs.
I told them about QGIS and we then walked into their lab. Good thing I always have a copy of FOSS GIS for MSWin (qgis, GRASS, udig, gpsbabel, etc.). I then installed QGIS, asked for a file of GPS readings. Showed them how to load them in QGIS, added a few shapefiles. And instantly they like it!
From the Desktop, I saw a Google Earth icon and told them the EULA
restriction of the free GE version. Afterwhich I demonstrated the NASA JPL WMS layer. I told them in ain't pirated it's free (beer & speech) and the community is very accomodating Now we have a new QGIS user! Next target is to show them how to use the GRASS plugin. Cheers, maning -- |---------|----------------------------------------------------------| | __.-._ |"Ohhh. Great warrior.
