	Using the steps outlined here should allow you to start using QGIS for basic geospatial tasks. The tasks outlined here are very basic and QGIS is a powerful tool especially when you start ~~taping~~ into the open source community for support and plugins. If ever you run into a new problem not outlined in this tutorial ~~its~~ as easy as a google search to find the answer you are looking for.

-The data we will be using will be data we generate ourselves from the aerial images or from GPS coordinates we have gathered ourselves. In some cases you may be lucky enough to find open data from other sources such as the governments open data portal (https://open.canada.ca/en/open-maps). For the purposes of this tutorial we will be generating our own data since many of the data available through open sources is not high resolution enough for the small plot of land we are working with.

 -	The map layout tool is also very powerful and lets you make some custom map designs. Explore the tools available to create the maps you need.

 **Congratulations you can now use the data you generated in any other project by finding it in the folder where you saved it.
 **You can also create new features from a feature you created. If you make a specific selection in the attribute table you can export only your selected rows that you need. For example if you’ve been creating points for trees and you want a layer with only maple trees you can select the maple only and export that as a feature. To do this go to “Export” again but this time “Save selected feature as”. You now have a feature with only your selection.

 *Use the street map to navigate by zooming into the location of your farm. You can click and drag your way around the map and use the “Zoom In” tool to zoom in. To stop zooming select the “Pan Map” tool (little hand).
 *Once you’ve found your property go in the left hand side of the screen “Layers” menu and deselect the OpenStreetMap layer. You should now have a satellite image of your property.
