Screencast - Creating a GRASS Location with QGIS
Submitted by Gary Sherman on Wed, 2007-10-17 20:13.
This screencast shows you how to create a new GRASS location using QGIS version 0.8.1 or higher. You should have some sample data in hand if you wish to follow along.
Please note that I use the words layer and map interchangeably. Strictly speaking, in GRASS a mapset contains maps and a map contains one or more layers.
