User-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Navigating QGIS is often a breeze even for newbies as it offers a friendly GUI. Users can access various tools in the interface such as spatial bookmarks, annotation tools, map composer, DB manager, QGIS browsers, and many more. The platform also offers incredible digitizing solutions for GRASS vector layers as well as OGR supported formats.

Spatial Data Analysis

QGIS allows users to analyze data on any database and OGR supported formats. Additionally, it offers a plethora of valuable features such as data management, vector analysis, geometry tools, geoprocessing, and sampling. Users can also choose to work with a plugin or integrate GRASS tools to come up with a powerful framework to analyze geospatial data.

Plugins

Another notable benefit of QGIS is its ability to extend functionality through the use of plugins. The plugin libraries and architecture are extensible, making it easier to adapt the software to your specific needs. Users can also create an additional app easily using C++ or Python.
