Re: [Qgis-user] Data Privacy
Afaik: If your data includes references to external URIs/URLs (like XML documents with schemata) then there *might* be processes involved that will try to make network requests to them. This can also happen with GeoPackages, e.g. if styles reference external URLs. Or a VRT that uses remote data sets. Or a .lyr file that has a remote server in it. Etc.

Re: [Qgis-user] Portable GIS
Windows I presume? What exactly is not working with your versions? Also I would guess that a normal QGIS install and copying it to usb would work? What exactly do you need: a full QGIS or fieldwork functionality?

If you configure an online tiled map layer, then qgis will fetch tiles that are in the viewport. So if you open say a geopackage with 20 secret locations in a project with OSM tiles from some commercial provider, then that bounding box will be revealed. If you zoom in, then another round of fetches will occur at higher zoom and smaller bbox. Whether this is ok depends on your secrecy needs, your agreement with the tile provider, and whether you believe any of this. Of course, you should be rational about overall risks, and if you are running Windows and relying on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure (see the news if you haven't; it's OT here) this coarse-grained tiled leakage may not be a significant issue compared to your total set of problems. This is of course not about qgis in particular; any GIS software will do this. And, by configuring a tiled layer, you are instructing qgis to do this. The solution is obvious: download OSM data, and set up your own mapnik server, and configure that instead. ___ QGIS-User mailing list QGIS-User@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] Qgis & photos (google street view) : Downloading photos and use its for atlas?
Good afternoon, I am carrying out a remote sensing work (land use mapping of the Dakar metropolitan area based on sentinel2 images classifications). In order to compensate for the absence of a ground campaign and reference data (ground truth), I intended to use photos that can be found on the web in order to preserve this ground/landscape dimension. And to integrate these ground photos into a qgis atlas composed of several item maps (1 item for Very High Resolution Google qgis satellite data accessible via qgis plugin, 1 item map of a sentinel2 data in the dry season, 1 item sentinel map 2 in wet season, 1 item map of the classif product Esa World Cover. For information, I am attaching a simple screen shot of this existing atlas. For information, the cover layer for the atlas is my polygon layer of the areas of training/validation (reference polygons which are used in the classification process for training and validation). I would therefore like to be able to add map items dedicated to Google streetview photos to this atlas. Do you know what ways there are to first save/download Google StreetView photos? Will the uploaded photos be geotagged/geocoded? Then, the idea would be to be able to associate one or more Google street view photographs with each sheet/page of the atlas. I'm probably too many ambitious. I saw that there were some qgis plugins: go2streetview: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/go2streetview/ streetview: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/StreetView/ Google street view layer:https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/google … er-master/ Up to now, I'm using the street view plugin. Not other two. Because I can't really manage to use them. The problem seems to come from the Google API key. Maybe I didn't do things correctly. Do you think these plugins can help me meet my needs? Thnaks so much for your help. ___ QGIS-User mailing list QGIS-User@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hi, no information about your data will be shared with anyone. Here is the list of network calls that QGIS can make: https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/appendices/qgis_desktop_network_connections.html As far as I know all of them can be disabled by configuration settings. Kind regards.
