11. Visualizing Maps

Creating maps is one of the „business ends” of QGIS. Map views are canvases to visualize spatial layers loaded in the project, with the various rendering settings applied to them. They can be of 2D or 3D type, show different scale or extent, or display a different set of the loaded layers thanks to map themes.
