Hi all

Our search and rescue group is being offered (possibly) some mapping from government.

I am only at the toe dipping in stage of using qgis (or any gis).

I need to answer the questions in this email.   We have google earth and qgis at our base. (and some garmin mapping software too, I believe).


Can I asked the assemble wisdom for any pointers please?  Many thanks :)

In the past GeoBC has provided SAR Teams with digital data including satellite imagery, ortho photos, and TRIM base data for use when SAR teams are activated.

GeoBC and EMBC would like to get an idea on what the planning and operational demands for the Provincial Mapping  datasets might be.



BCSARA Directors would you please forward this message to the SAR groups in your region and ask them to get back to you by Monday Feb 20th with the following information:


  1. Would SAR groups like to have access to the Provincial mapping data sets?
  2. What mapping data do they normally require for operations and planning (satellite, orhto, TRIM)
  3. What format is preferred (i.e., KML, PDF...)
