1 Using Print Composer to Make Finished Map

1. Open Quantum GIS.

2. Setup your map first, adding any layers you want to include. Set the layer colors,

symbols, and labels as you want them to appear in your map.

a. From the menubar, click “Settings”. Choose “Project Properties”.

b. Click on the “Coordinate System” tab if it is not already open.

c. Scroll the window until you can see “Projected Coordinate Systems”.

d. Click the “+” symbol next to “Projected Coordinate Systems”, so the window

looks like this:

e. Scroll until you can see “Universal Transverse Mercator”, and click the “+”
