[Qgis-user] Wishing for accurate latitude/longitude from a mobile phone

2020-05-25 Thread Iain
I am not sure I fully grasp the problem Falk Huettmann has outlined. My Trimble Geo7X uses a program Trimble Pathfrinder Office which allows me to create data forms for on-site recording and then exports the data into various formats among which is the Shapefile. The data then becomes a vector

Dear Jochen et al, ...thanks, but it is 100% incorrect that Google Earth made satellite data available, and/or for free, e.g. Landsat. The opposite is the case (Landsat was made open by the Clinton administration etc much before that, by law. It's widely paid by US tax money btw) ; so Google

Hi, while I agree that there are lots of bad examples of proprietary formats, I want to say a few words to some of your examples: It is true that OpenStreetMap data is difficult to handle -  this is not because it is closed, but because it is open. When the project was started the goal was to

Hi, Just my grain of salt...  I believe the latest move from QGIS to change to a more recent version of the PROJ library (and to rely more on this library), is seen as a way to move GIS from a cartographic quality GIS to a Survey level precision GIS.  This is a good move but, as many have

Dear Chris et al, ...by using certain specific/clumsy formats -poorly documented ones - you can virtually exclude people from data and from Remote Sensing data and GPS etc. Google Earth as a classic example, and GARMIN as another, or ESRI files, certainly NetCDF or many R packages even. In

Dear List, I think these GPS high resolution suggestions are great; thanks. But my real interest/question here is, how can we bring it home to QGIS ? I see GARMIN essentially trying to sell and impose on us their GIS system, same applies to OpenStreet Maps etc etc. So they try to privatize

Hi List: In my experience, the key is writing output in rinex format so that the rover data can be corrected either using PPP if you can collect your GPS data over and extended period of time or use pre-existing (or self deployed) base station over a know coordinate to provide correction
