Hi Grant, interesting project. Do you currently have a feed of railcar location data and are simply looking to visualize it or would you need a way to collect live locations or track some other way? On Wed, Aug 25, 2021, 1:58 PM Grant Olmschenk wrote: > I am a new user of this program and am

I am a new user of this program and am in need of some guidance or possibly some programs that would integrate well with QGIS. I work for a plastic services company and most of our inventory is stored in rail cars on site or within a 3 mile area of the facility. I am looking to have an interactive

Re: [Qgis-user] New User: Cropping makes HUGE files (and I know about COMPRESS-LZW)

Can you supply the bounding box you are using (or the full command). Also which version of QGIS on which OS? You are correct that something is odd. Thanks, Alex On 03/09/2018 02:04 PM, Dennis Grant wrote: > I did that, and I got a file that was 150 Gb (and still growing after an > hour) > >

Re: [Qgis-user] New User: Cropping makes HUGE files (and I know about COMPRESS-LZW)

The Clipper dialog is missing GUI options to set the compression. In the box at the bottom, edit the command to add the following "-co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co PREDICTOR=2 -co ZLEVEL=9" That will apply compression to the output. Thanks, Alex On 03/09/2018 01:44 PM, Dennis Grant wrote: > Hi all, I

Hi all, I have a very specific problem I'm attempting to solve, and I'm sad to say it has defeated me. What I am trying to do is generate a 3D model of the terrain relief in a certain area so that it can be fed into a CNC machine for subsequent carving. So then, step 1 - get a DEM GEOTIFF from

Re: [Qgis-user] New user

Stephen, I'm glad to hear you were successful. There used to be an easier to use site called GeoBase (http://www.geobase.ca/), but now it just points to Geogratis. Still, it can be a useful list. Another data source you might consider is OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/).

Re: [Qgis-user] New user

Nicolas, I got back into using GIS software after deciding I wanted to become proficient in navigating BC's rain-forests with only map and compass. I purchased 3 1:2 maps from a local outlet and was surprised to find a major creek was missing on one of them. From this I learned that BC

Re: [Qgis-user] New user

Brent, Thanks for the reply. I had spent literally hours on the geogratis site and always came away empty handed. But, after your email, I gave it another try, and found useful data! I seem to have a genetic aversion to acronyms, which may also have something to do with my being 76. ;-)

Re: [Qgis-user] New user

All very good suggestions. I have had quite good luck getting municipal data layers as well, some have them listed on their websites for free download. Others may make it available on a request basis. I'm also in Southwest BC, depending upon where you are, I may be able to help you further. Just

Re: [Qgis-user] New user

Stephen, I can't speak about BC data specifically, but the Canadian federal government has geographic data available at their Geogratis site (http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/). And there are lots of base map tile servers available, but they may be hard to use if your intent is to print a

I had worked a bit with ArcGIS about 12 years ago and have been struggling to make it work for me again. I have been pretty successful except in one area. I do not have an ESRI account, so when I built a map on their free World Topographic Map and exported it as a PDF, it was of very low

Also, for what it's worth, I developed the tutorial you're referencing ( http://mltconsecol.github.io/QGIS-Tutorial/). Note- it hasn't been updated since version 2.12 (when I was last developing it for teaching material) - thus, the operations should generally work as described, but there may

You can go to one of two places: http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/example/services.html - this contains a list of services that you can pull from the national map (maintained by the USGS). To me the http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ is a little more straight forward plus you don't have to

Hi Gill, I might not understand your problem fully, but I think that as a newcomer to QGIS a reasonable approach would be to load your OS OpenData map images first and then load the contours. (I'd keep clear of the OpenData contour DXFs if I were you and go for the new contour data in shapefile
