GIS Question?
You are creating a land cover data layer to use in QGIS. What are some of the considerations in deciding to use a raster or a vector data model?

Both have there place in GIS systems
Raster images are useful as they provide a lot of detail that is hard to capture as vector features but easy to see when looking at the raster image.
Raster data can also be non-photographic data such as the raster layer which shows the calculated average minimum temperature in the Western Cape for the month of March.
