Hello,
I may be totally stupid, but I have tried to find information, but all I
do fails.
Upon their kind referral I have downloaded the Scottish Government Data
Zone centroids 2011 from
http://sedsh127.sedsh.gov.uk/Atom_data/ScotGov/StatisticalUnits/subfeed_DataZoneCent2011.atom.en.xml
I have loaded the file into QGIS (first Brighton, meanwhile Wien) and
was able to add the OpenStreetMap layer.
Then I tried to export the data for using it with a software that uses
digital lat/lon, but all I get is "Eastings" and "Northings". So I read
I may have to change the CRS, tried with WGS84 Mercator, but that
results in the same. I also tried to toggle edit and recalculate, but
the result when adding geometry $x is again the Eastings/Northings (no
matter which of the CRS I use), not the expected longitude/latitude. I
have installed MMQGIS and plugins upon research on the web to no help.
So yesterday I went three hours (oneway) to a local OSM stammtisch,
where I was told to use PostgreSQL for the task - tried and failed (I am
used to use MySQL, might be my fault). I was also told, more than half
the map-experts wouldn't know how to do this ;-) Unfortunately I need
those data quickly.
Anyone able to help me, possibly also referring me to an existing howto
I did not find for a step-by-step to convert that data and export to CSV
that the CSV contains lat/lon as needed?
If this is not the proper mailing list to address QGIS-questions, please
also advise. Any advise, even reference to somewhere else IS appreciated!
Thank you for any possible help!
