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.

<span>Select the layers you want to use in QGIS:</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territory<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for editing boundaries</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territories<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for viewing and analyzing the territories</span>
