Kurt, there There are two answers depending on what type of data you have.

  • If you have lat/long or coordinates, you can import the CSV file to QGIS and create your map via 'Add Delimited Text Layer'. There are some limitations to the CSV parser, so your CSV needs to be formatted just right. Here are detailed instructions that may help.
