Hello, Many thanks to those who recommended the iPhone app iGIS a few weeks ago to as a way to send points to and from an iPhone in a format QGIS can edit. Except for one issue, that workflow works well. The iGIS app imports QGIS point shapefiles without any problem. However, when I export a shapefile layer back to QGIS (via Dropbox), the lat/long coordinates and the altitude of points I have made since the import all register as “NULL” values in the QGIS attribute table. This is odd, since the points themselves show up on the map exactly where they are supposed to be. Furthermore, when I select the rows containing the new points, copy them and then paste them into the text edit simple word processor, the lat / long coordinates suddenly appear.
Since the whole point of using shapefiles is to have an editable point layer within QGIS, this somewhat defeats the purpose. I hope I am missing some simple step in the shapefile export / import process or missing a critical plugin. Thanks for any suggestions! Any possibility of editable GPX layers in future QGIS releases?
