I'm currently struggling with adding an OS 1:25k (.tab) to my workspace in QGIS. It comes up with the message

is not a valid or recognised data source

Any ideas?

  • OS 1:25k is usually raster are there any tif,jpgs,pngs of the data? This sound very do-able in QGIS.

  • Sorry didn't realise I couldn't ask more than one question...their information would only be their name and title of their roles in our organisation, but I want to plot this onto a parish. I've tried to several tutorials but never seem to work. I'm not very good at GIS and difficult when I'm the only person in the building that can vaguely even understand GIS!

  • I have tried to open the OS 1:25k as a raster and it still won't work. I know it is do-able as I've uploaded other data into QGIS before but for some reason this won't open :( There is a tif version of the data. Problem is, it's all old from when we had a GIS department before so the data is all mixed up. But the one I know that works just won't upload.

For the labeling side of your question:

In QGIS to Label the Parish with a rule (In this case only label Tormorden CP)

enter image description here

The code is in the rule-based setting

"PARISH"  =  'TODMORDEN CP'

You can add more rules to accommodate all your labels you want to show.
