SB03 Tasks
- Go to http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/
- If you have space and a decent connection, download the whole Large Scale Cultural Data.
- TAKE NOTE: there are several files with each name, each with a different file extension: .dbf .prj .html .shp .shx .txt
- Per SB suggestion, you might want to gather some of these together in folders. But you can also do this later.
- After you have done some house keeping, open QGIS and drag ne_10m_admin_0_countries_lakes.shp onto the main mapping window. In case you are wondering: WGS84
