  • A folder with elevation data (srtm_38_02),

  • A folder with styles for the elevation layer (_qgis_elevation_styles),

  • A folder with styles for the vector layers (_qgis_vector_styles),

  • A folder with a 20x15km (46x30 hex) print composer template (_qgis_print_composer_templates),

  • Per vector layer, five files together containing the vector data in shapefile format for the layer
