[Qgis-user] Google earth kml file not opening in Qgis

[Harikumar Sivanandan]

Sir,
I exported a kml file consisting of roads, paths and lines from My places
in Google maps. It is opening in Google Earth, but I am not able to open it
as a vector layer in QGIS.
However I am able to open a Google earth kml file consisting of only points
in QGIS. What should I do to open a kml file consisting of lines?
With regards
Harikumar

Re: [Qgis-user] Print Composer: Best Practices

[Gordon Lane]

Thanks to all who responded (and who may yet still). I'll try out the
various tricks.

I have used a variety of PDF printers but still get issues with color and
crispness (understanding that a autumn-crisp image will be a large file).

And I take back what I said about print composer being "useless" -- I just
didn't pay attention to how it was working. I saw the legend wasn't the
same in reloads, and assumed the rest was jacked up, too. Now I see it just
adds layers you might have excluded from the legend before. My bad!

[Qgis-user] showing google layers, downloading 1.8.0

[john raskulinecz]

Dear List, Just wanted to thank again those who offered help to me in the past 
and to let all know that I got a Google satilite image to load in Qgis 1.8 with 
the open layers pluggin. I first had to download the new Qgis version onto a 
flash drive as win 7 64 bit (or maybe my anti virus or browser) would not let 
it go to my hard drive.I'll be playing with it over the next few days but so 
far I am very impressed. Kudos to the developer.  thanks again from a very

Re: [Qgis-user] clipping shapefiles

[Randal Hale]

if you want to clip along a county there are several ways to do this. My 
suggestion.


Select the county (I am assuming you have that as a layer in QGIS).
Go to Vector -> Geoprocessing tools -> Clip
Clip out the streets using the selected county.

That should give you a new streets layer.

Have you tried in QGIS to write the content of your real field to a new
integer (4) field using the attribute calculator ? 
[Open attribute table > toggle editing > Open field calculator (right button
below attribute table, should be active) ]
Create a new field with Definition Integer 4 and give it a NewFieldName. In
the expression field write: "OldFieldName"

Did a test and it worked with a shapefile.

Re: [Qgis-user] Smartphone suggestions for QGIS Mobile

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

There is a Google Summer of Code project to make a native dedicated
touch screen interface to the QGIS library (i.e. with a totally
separate user interface). The current QGIS android offering works on
e.g. my HTC One X but is not really (usable other than for a quick
show off) - it is much more intended to run on a tablet computer.

[Qgis-user] Change the Field type (.dbf)

[Sławomir Bienias]

  
  
Hello,
I have a problem with my fields... in QGis.
I work with QGis 1.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.

I need to have Attribute Table with specific type of field - Integer
(4,0).
It is not table from SHP file, only DBF - it's additional table to
join with main table from SHP. It is huge table, so I filled it with
LibreOffice Calc. And when I save the table, type of my field is
changing itself - now is Float (6,2). And I can't change it. It
doesn't work, when I'm trying to change it in Calc. And in QGis I
didn't find any option to do that operation.

I tried to find the answer on Google, but I didn't find any way to
solve my problem.

Is there any way to change field type in DBF table in QGis? Or maybe
other application can do it?

  Slawomir Bienias

[Qgis-user] qgis server problem with custom RS

[andrea pacifici]

Hi to everyone,

I'm trying to set-up a WMS server using Qgis-server. The WMS should
provide maps of planetary bodies, such as Mars, and this imply that
I'm using custom RS. But when I try to load one of such maps in Qgis
the program prompts an error saying that the requested map contains a
RS not available.
The same data and RS work OK both with Qgis desktop than with mapserver

Any Idea? many thanks

I didn't try to record my tracks, but GPS (and OTF) worked very well. I
had a couple of rasters (4-5 4b each, TIF) and did not take long with
the OTF either.

The only thing is 3G which you can tether it with your phone.

Plus...the battery lasted a whole day with GPS on.

Is the GPS working properly in Nexus 7?

Have you use MyTracks to record gpx, kml?

I think the QML version i.e. QGIS mobile (android) would be great for
this device.

I have got QGIS working on my Nexus S and the screen size and resolution
are the limiting factor with using QGIS on Android – Nexus S has a 4
inch screen with a resolution of 800x480.

 

I would really recommend a phone with a big screen (the Samsung Note has
one of the biggest) or a tablet – the Nexus 7 can be had for £159 for
the 8GB version and £199 for the 16GB version. That has a 7 inch screen
and with a resolution of 1280 x 800.

I thank you for all those informations, but those very good smartphones

introduction on Mobile GIS...


Please forgive me if I've been not clear enough, but in reality I need
informations about the kind of display, something like "capacitive
display" Vs "resistive display": I would like to know if "capacitive"
displays can be used with enough precision considering its peculiari
stilus... Does someone can share its experiences to address me and other

I totally agree with Alex.

You probably don't need a Web geoserver / mapserver,

You can use free available map services (e.g. Mapbox, Cloudmade,
OpenStreetMap (OSM), etc.)

Leaflet is very good in creating web mapping using Mapbox, cloudmade,
OpenStreetMap.

Have  a look at this example.

Oggetto: Re: [Qgis-user] Smartphone suggestions for QGIS Mobile
 

I thank you for all those informations, but those very good smartphones 
are very expensives, but right now I'm planning to buy a cheaper one (at least 
€200): I need a mobile and I just would like to have an introduction on Mobile 
GIS...

Please forgive me if I've been not clear enough, but in reality I need 
informations about the kind of display, something like "capacitive display" Vs 
"resistive display": I would like to know if 
"capacitive" displays can be used with enough precision considering its 
peculiari stilus... Does someone can share its experiences to address me and 
other users?___
