Re: [Qgis-user] Opening GEOTIFF file in QGIS support request
Hi Gino, From the screengrab you forwarded to me, I am inclined to agree with Richard. The data appears to be looking fine. You, as Richard said should probably use background mapping to verify the location but besides that it looks fine. I have been on the Global Wind Atlas website, and looked at some of their documentation. The data appears to be provided at a resolution of 250m (you can verify this in the properties) which is why, when zoomed in it appears pixelated. You will need to style it to make it look similar to how it's displayed online. Also note, that on the website the data stops being displayed beyond a certain zoom level, this is to prevent issues like that you are experiencing. I hope that clarifies things.

Re: [Qgis-user] Opening GEOTIFF file in QGIS support request
Hi Gino (please also keep the mailing list into the loop :-) ), What I see in your screenshot looks fine? I see you loaded a project in EPSG:4326 (lower right corner), and you data is apparently also fine, as I see coordinates 32/-116 (northern Mexico, or southern California?). This is not what you supposed to see? Raster data (unlike aerials etc) are squares, with one or more data value's for every square. Which historically is shown in a white to black styling (as you can see). You can put the OpenStreetMap beneath it, to have more reference (and an idea about the size/precision of your data)? About ogrinfo.. sorry I meant gdalinfo this is a commandline too (also in the QGIS install of Windows), which shows information about gis-data (gdalinfo for rasters, ogrinfo for vector).. Or am I missing your point? Can you share you download url from the Wind Atlas? (I see they have a lot of types of data). And as asked: what were you hoping to see?

Re: [Qgis-user] Opening GEOTIFF file in QGIS support request
Hi Gino, Just to echo what Richard Duienvoorde said, QGIS should handle GeoTIFF perfectly fine. I use the format myself when working with raster's in QGIS. First question's I would ask would be: 1)Are you getting any error messages when you load the Raster? What are they?? 2)Is the Raster appearing in the Layer Panel? 3)Have you tried Dragging and dropping the Raster onto the Map Canvas? 4) As have a look at the Layer Properties, under Information. Look to see the rasters CRS, if its correct. Sometimes, the CRS isn't imbedded, resulting in it being displayed incorrectly. If you, as Richard said could share any information about the raster with us, we could be of more help. As it is we have little to go on.

Hi GIno, QGIS should 'just show/open/ geotiff's fine. Can you open the geotiff in another viewer? If not, or uncertain, are you sure it is a GEO-tiff (that is it contains the spatial info?) and not a 'normal tiff'? If so: can you provide the output of 'ogrinfo ?
