TheocBase/TheocBase

Working with the Territory Data in a Geographic Information System (GIS)

The TheocBase SQLite database can be opened in a GIS software that allows users to analyze or combine the data with other sources e.g. create high quality maps for the Kingdom Hall. In the following instructions QGIS is used, a multi-platform GIS available for free, but other programs may be used similarly.
