I am not sure I fully grasp the problem Falk Huettmann has outlined.
My Trimble Geo7X uses a program Trimble Pathfrinder Office which allows me
to create data forms for on-site recording and then exports the data into
various formats among which is the Shapefile. The data then becomes a vector

Dear Jochen et al,
...thanks,
but it is 100% incorrect that Google Earth made satellite data available,
and/or for free, e.g. Landsat.
The opposite is the case (Landsat was made open by the Clinton
administration etc much before that, by law. It's widely paid by US tax
money btw) ;
so Google Earth

Hi,
while I agree that there are lots of bad examples of proprietary
formats, I want to say a few words to some of your examples:
It is true that OpenStreetMap data is difficult to handle - this is not
because it is closed, but because it is open. When the project was

Hi,
Just my grain of salt... I believe the latest move from QGIS to change
to a more recent version of the PROJ library (and to rely more on this
library), is seen as a way to move GIS from a cartographic quality GIS
to a Survey level precision GIS. This is a good move but, as many have

Google Earth as a classic example, and GARMIN as another, or ESRI files,
certainly NetCDF or many R packages even.

QGIS version: 3.12.2-București
ESRI Portal version: 10.7.1
We have recently been testing out the access to our ESRI Enterprise Portal
from QGIS using the ArcGisMapServer and ArcGisFeatureServer connectors. Our
Portal is configured via SAML for Enterprise Logins using our corporate

Dear List,
I think these GPS high resolution suggestions are great;
thanks.
But my real interest/question here is, how can we bring it home to QGIS ?
I see GARMIN essentially trying to sell and impose on us their GIS system,
same applies to OpenStreet Maps etc etc. So they try to privatize geogra
Hi List:
In my experience, the key is writing output in rinex format so that the
rover data can be corrected either using PPP if you can collect your GPS
data over and extended period of time or use pre-existing (or self
deployed) base station over a know coordinate to provide correction
data
Martin and list,
To me, in general, I think I would try to go with a Raspberry Pi based
solution. The hardware isn't all that expensive and the easy ability to do
stuff directly with the output of the device in Python or some other
programming language seems to be preferable to messing around wit
Dear list,
I would like to add some things here, since I am trying to use RTK GPS
in the field with mobile devices.

RTK GPS or any more precice GPS technology will be external, you cannot
get around the missing measurements and lack of algorithms in consumer
