Install and Setup

First things first, you will need to go download QGIS.

If you haven’t purchased LTAgo yet, go here to do so and create an account.

If you have already purchased and have an account, go into “My Account” and then “Downloads”. Select the highest available version for download.

Open up QGIS, and start a new project. In the toolbars at the top click “Plugins” > “Manage and install plugins”. Click on “Install from zip” and drag the file to the input bar or click the button on the right hand side of the input and go to wherever you downloaded the LTAgo plugin to.

After LTAgo is installed I would suggest downloading the quick map services plugin for showing base maps. In the same Plugins window click “All” on the left hand side. In the search bar at the top enter “quickmapservices”(no spaces). In the bottom right of the window you should see a button that says “Install Plugin”. Click the “Install Plugin” button. If you want more info on the Quick Map Services plugin you can go here, https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/quick_map_services/.

QGIS has other plugins that can provide map tiles or if you have a map tile service you like you can probably hook up directly to that. If you want more info on that, check out the map tile setup instructions.

You’re done! Click on any of the tool icons that were added when you installed the plugin.
