Open GIS

Not so long ago GIS was largely unaffordable for small practitioners- who would like to use it as part of their work, but are neither professionally trained, nor have the resources of a big company. Times have changed and there is now some wonderful open source software that anyone can download and use/self-learn. In conjunction with the open source base data available from the government and maps from Ordnance Survey, GIS is accessible to all! Check out QGIS below:
