I'm very new to any GIS type platforms, so please forgive the ignorance on display here (and I did search for answers to this elsewhere). I've downloaded QGIS 2.0.1. I separately downloaded Tunisia administrative data from DIVA-GIS. When I open QGIS, it does not find the .zip file, nor any of the s

[Qgis-user] New dialog when opening layer with a different CRS

Hi, Thanks for your explanation on this issue. It would be a good idea if the developer added your text in the dialog box, or added as an option in the current dialog box. I do not think that there are so many users who will use this function in daily life - and therefor a distraction - but us

That's so a user can apply datum transformations from one coordinate system to another (ie, NAD27 <-> NAD83 <-> NAD83(CSRS)). They are usually compiled into Proj4 through grid shift binary files (.gsb) often available from federal or provincial and local agencies. For example, in British Columbia,

[Qgis-user] Wiki Cleanup

Hi, At today's PSC meeting, we decided that the QGIS Wiki (http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/) is in need of a serious cleanup. It's generally not well maintained and much of its content is better covered in the documentation and governance docs. In one week (on Jan, 10th), we will be

Hi Milton, I suspect that would be in breach of the GE License (not a lawyer though). At least with free GE you're not allowed to do much of anything with the imagery. GE Professional you may be, but I'm not sure if that includes classification. Cheers, Jonathan On 30 December 2013 12:45, Milton
