I'm a self-taught novice, struggling on my own. Please be patient with me! I use QGIS (1.8.0) with Windows 7.

comment “Map 1” vs “Map 0”
Thanks Nathan. Is trying a nightly build one of those things that they warn you about, that may mess things up? I'm not very geeky, and would rather live w/ this than create some complication. Would you recommend it for someone like me? And if so, please advise where to go to do this. Thanks very much.

comment Using Easy Custom Labeling: Where's my missing label?
However I still have at least one point whose label will not appear no matter how I pan or move other nearby labels.

comment Using Easy Custom Labeling: Where's my missing label?
Ok, now I see that when I pan over, it changes where labels are displayed for nearby features. So if I pan to where the label was disappearing; then move the other nearby labels to other locations, the missing label appears.

Now I discovered the line label appearing when I changed views (panned over a ways). Each time I pan back & forth, the label appears or disappears.

Now I found it happening with a line. I don't see anything invalid about any of these.

So far I've found it with two points.

comment “Easy Custom Labeling” arrows: How do I get them?
Thanks Regis; sorry if I’m missing something stupid! I generated my label layer (“Label_TVZ GPS points”; See screenshot at dropbox.com/s/ys6ihzbthbkkn1y/Arrows%20screenshot.jpg I then moved a label; saved my change; then clicked the “Generates lines from objects to labels” tool (6th tool from left, second toolbar row). However, this caused creation of the new layer, “Arrow_Label_TVZ GPS points”. Clicking that button again only caused creation of another copy of that layer!?!? Ok, what idiotic mistake am I making?

Thanks Lewis. I think this is a little beyond me, so I guess I won't worry about it right now.

(Note: These tracks have been added by a variety of means over time, from Garmin GPS units, mostly using the DNR Garmin interface.)

comment Why does Field Calculator put in all these 9's?
Here's a clue I just discovered. My original data was NAD 83, so I filled in 2 columns w/ projected data. That went ok. Then I saved the layer as WGS and ran the same expression to get lat/long data. That's when I got all the 9's.

Thanks, mkennedy, but I'm afraid that discussion is a bit beyond me. So do you have any idea what I can do to make my data look reasonable?
