I too am having a bit of difficulty with a GML layer. I am pulling a rainfall forecast from NOAA WFS service via Mapserver, and then trying to load the resulting GML file into QGIS, but it tells me that:
"C:\images\maps\forecast.gml is not a valid or recognized data source" Any info would be appreciated, Robert W.

Why not trying to convert with it? ogr2ogr --formats | grep GML -> "GML" (read/write) _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
