Re: [Qgis-user] How to import a Google map
I'm not an expert, just a newbie, but you should be able to export it to kml / kmz from google maps, google maps engine or google earth. If you use kmz, you have to unzip the kmz file (if you use windows, you could need to change its extension to .zip) and take the kml file inside it. They are also some trouble managing google kml files, since they include raster info along with vector info.

Re: [Qgis-user] legend feature count - 2 values

[Qgis-user] kmz export sed script
Hi!
As I said in a previous message, I use qgis to put together many geographic
information sources prior to downloading the data as kmz to my mobile.
That's the reason I wrote a small script to generate kmz icons from a
qgis-generated kml.
That script is a sed script, meaning it has to be processed with the
sed utility included in Linux. If you have a Windows version of qgis
bundled with Msys (such as osgeo4win), you could probably execute it from
the msys command line.
Someone could try to adapt it to python, but I don't know how to make
python scripts.
Please note: Lines are long and they could be wrapped when sendind as
email. I will use an empty line (two carriage returns) to mark new line.
---
SCRIPT 1 Generate icons from name field
This script takes a qgis-generated kml file, and adds an icon (called
Cueva.png) to every feature with a name containing Cueva or Sima,
another icon (called .Icnitas.png) to every feature with a name
containing icnita or Icnita,
another icon (called Fosil.png) to every feature with a name like
Fosil, Fósil, fosil or fósil, and another icon (called Mina.png)
to every feature with a name containing Mina.
The icons should be placed in a folder called images, and zipped along
with the modified kml file in a file with kmz extension.
The script should be invoked like this:
sed mykmlfile.kml -f kmzfromname.sed newkmlfile.kml
After that, you should use your preferred zip manager to zip together the
files. I use this:
7z -a -tzip newkmlfile.kmz newkmlfilekml images/*.png
but the syntax would be different if you use a different zip manager.

kmziconfromname.sed---END OF
FILE---
SCRIPT 2 - Generate icons from a custom field (not name)
This is a skeleton script. In the previous sample, I used the name to
detect the class of each feature, but my kml file has a field caled
T006_006_C that stores the actual feature class.
So I could use that field instead.
But, in order to do that, I have to read the field inside the
ExtendedData tag and, after that, put a new flag outside that tag.
Doing that with SED is tricky, because SED uses to read one line at a time.
We have to tell it to group the whole ExtendedData group in a single line.
Please notice you should adapt this script to your needs, i.e., replace
T006_006_C with the field name you want, add code to replace the !---icon
-- tags with your preferred icon, and so on.
The usage would be again,
sed mykmlfile.kml -f kmzfromfield.sed newkmlfile.kml
After that, you should use your preferred zip manager to zip together the
files. I use this:
7z -a -tzip newkmlfile.kmz newkmlfilekml images/*.png
but the syntax would be different if you use a different zip manager.

[Qgis-user] Descriptionfield and Namefield in KML export
Hi!J On QGIS 2.4, I have some kind of trouble exporting to KML from SHP files when the name field is not called name. If I specify the Name field in the SaveAs-KML file -Datasource options dialog, QGIS ignores that option. A workaround is using the Field calculator to generate a new field called Name. Then, QGIS uses the Name field. This is the result of my experiments: 1) Export kml from a SHP file without NAME field, specifying field XXX as Namefield = Resulting KML file has no name. Field XXX is exported as Extended data with name XXX. 2) Export kml from a SHP file with NAME field, Specifying field XXX as Namefield ==Resulting KML file has namefield NAME, XXX field is NOT exported. 3) Export kml from a SHP file with NAME field, Specifying NAME as name field ==Everything is ok. Please note the same applies to Description field option. Also, I use to need calculated descriptions (I.E. to generate a html description with a table grouping many fields), but I can't use the field calculator inside the description field option, so I have to make a copy of the SHP file with the custom Description field, using the field calculator before exporting to kml. (Another question: what does mean export simbology? I find the results are the same with or without clicking that option. I would like an option to save my custom categorized icons ...) ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] downloading map data
Hi, Josselyn. I'm a novice QGIS user, so you'd probably wait for someone more experienced. WFS (VECTOR) layers are cacheable, meaning you can save them with the save option (if you have the translated version it shows as Guardar). But WMS (TILE) layers and Web layers are not cacheable - you can't save them, and in some cases you can't even print them. If you want to avoid downloading maps once and again, you could use a third party software to download the tiles. Look for tile downloader. I used such approach one year go, but I don't remember the configuration details. There is also a work offline plugin. I haven't tested yet, and I'm away from my computer, so I can't be very informative --sorry! Another solution I use to apply is georeferencing a downloaded map, since my country offers free scanned maps for noncommercial usage. But, as I read on the official ign.gob.pe, Peru *sells* the scanned/shp maps -- and they seem very expensive.

[Qgis-user] WMS servers, spain
Hi! I understand mantaining the right WMS list is a pain, specially in countries like Spain where WMSs are very decentralized and also change its domain each few years. The right WMS server for IDERIOJA Gobierno de La Rioja OGC WMS is: http://ogc.larioja.org/wms/request.php? Instead of: http://wms.larioja.org/request.asp? (I haven't tried the many, village-scope sub WMSs for La Rioja, but I guess they use ocg. instead of wms. as its last domain component) The main WMS aereal photo for spain is not listed, it is: http://www.idee.es/wms/PNOA/PNOA?
