I am working on a school project that requires us to have a map with the points indicating different station with its coordinates appearing as a label. I just don't know how to do it?

I think it could be possible but we just started using QGIS so I know very little.

You can click on the equation icon beside the label with to enter a complex label.

Then, you can access the geometry coordinates using $x and $y. You can also concatenate text using ||

To display the X and Y, you could use an expression like:

$x || ' - ' || $y

  • Note that if you want to display latitude and longitude, the x coordinate is longitude and the y coordinate is latitude. So if you want coordinates displayed as lat, long use the formula $y || ', ' || $x

You can use the tool "add coordinates to points" and then you can, in the new layer, use multiline labels. These links could help you : https://anitagraser.com/2011/06/15/multi-line-labels-in-qgis/ How to show two different labels of a particular vector layer with the help of QGIS?
