GIS

I began looking at GIS back in 2019. I wasted some time then giving Grass a try, then set things aside. Then in 2026, I began learning QGIS, which is fantastic. If you are wondering what GIS is, it is using computer software to work with geographic data, especially maps.

There is a prominent commercial product from ESRI called ArcGIS. It is expensive and beyond my reach. QGIS seems to be able to do anything it can do (or at least what I want to do) and it is free.
