You must create a layout where you show your home city and neighbourhood:

  • Load base maps, like Google Satellite, and/or OpenStreetmap
  • Digitize the area that you want to show as a polygon
  • Style the polygon and add attributes if you want to see labels
  • Add other layers if you want
  • Create the layout with 4 quadrants, each showing different aspects (e.g. different scale, different background maps, ....)
  • Make sure your map has at minimum the following items
    • A scale bar
    • A scale in text format
    • North Arrow
    • Grids in longitude and latitude with margins and coordinates
    • A front-box with your name and if you want some image that represents you, date etc...
