Re: [Qgis-user] Simple Georeference a .png chart

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Alex,
  It may just be me being slow, but it's not entirely clear what you're trying 
to accomplish here. As best I can tell the two images are at very very 
different scales. Are you trying to georeference the Newark close-up onto the 
Newark-area map?

I believe using a transformation Type of Polynomial 1 should minimise the types 
of warping that's happening (assuming you don't want any to happen).

Maybe the points you're trying to reference on the map aren't actually correct?
More information about what you're trying to accomplish may help someone offer 
a suggestion/solution.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: [Qgis-user] Simple Georeference a .png chart

Hi All!

I am new to the GIS topic and also new to QGIS. My problems seemed to be very 
easy, but with my last try I was then running completely wrong and I hope you 
can help me since I thought I have done everything correctly.

I have added 2 pictures as example (KEWR_AFC.png, KEWR_AGC.png)(originally its 
a .tiff, but does not matter for this test). On the KEWR_AGC I have drawn the 
grid lines to make it easier to set some coordinates. Be aware that I made an 
error on the right side and one gridline is wrong. But for this example and the 
test it should not matter if its known. Also there is a Reference point in the 
middle of the chart as confirmation that everything is ok after georeferencing.

On the KEWR_AFC there are a lot of Points already defined with coordinates 
which can be used to georeference the .png.

I have now tried everything but the result was tilted and shifted in such a 
way, that it was unreadable or completely unusable because the coordinates have 
been wrong. Is it because of the variation? Or wrong KGS? I had - depending on 
the choses options - red lines indicating the tilt/shift with extremely 
movements...

So can anybody help me how I have to georeference (especially the AGC), that it 
is correct?

Thanks a lot already for help in advance!

With best regards

Alex
