Hi Maria,

You are welcome! And thanks for reporting back.

I tested the suggestions with my limited knowledge of QGIS and could use

Etiennes idea with the virtual field is an excellent idea for ongoing

it is OK with the more basic solution. Finally, the lat-lon plugin as

Maria,

You can certainly do it with the field calculator, but I wanted an 
easier way. I programmed this capability into the Lat Lon Tools 
plugin. The specific 
function is "Geometry to field". You can access it from "Plugins->Lat 
Lon Tools->Conversions->Geometry to field" or from the processing 
toolbox under Lat Lon tools.


There is a lot of functionality with this. You can export the the 
points to either a single field in the attributes table with a 
separator or to two fields. You can specify the output CRS. You can 
also choose between Decimal degrees, DMS coordinates, GeoJSON, WKT, 
MGRS, and Plus Codes.


As far as getting it onto your Garmin device try the POI Exporter 
plugin which is another 
plugin I wrote. Look at the documentation. It will export your data in 
GPX format and you can use Garmin Basecamp or the Garmin POI Loader to 
get it onto your device.

Hi,

I have been watching YouTube and reading tutorials the whole
afternoon, but I do not get this simple task done:

I have a map with several layers in EPSG:2444. Now I create
another vector layer with points, which represents points that I
have to go myself and check for several features. I will go there
with my Garmin Etrex 10 GPS.

So, I would like to

- add the coordinates of the certain points into the attribute
table to print out the table later.
- create a file with the coordinates in order to import it into
the GPS device and walk along all points.

My question:

1. How do I get readable (GPS) coordinates into the attribute
table (automatically, with field calculator or so)?
2. Can I export a GPX file or so from these coordinates to import
into a Garmin device (if so, how?)


It seems so basic, but I do not succeed.

Best,
Maria

Re: [Qgis-user] How to get a point's coordinate for GPS?

[Etienne Trimaille]

I will just add 2 tips to Raymond's answer.

* In the field calculator, you can create a "virtual" field, so the content
is updated everytime you move a point, or you create a new one.
* With these expressions, you will get decimal values. Since QGIS 3.4, you
can have DMS or DM values (convenient for GPS)
to_dms(x(transform( $geometry, 'EPSG:2444', 'EPSG:4326'))),'x', 3)

In qgis3 it should work like this:

You can use the field calculator on your attribute table with the 
following expressions:


lon
x(transform( $geometry, 'EPSG:2444', 'EPSG:4326'))

lat
y(transform( $geometry, 'EPSG:2444', 'EPSG:4326'))



2. Can I export a GPX file or so from these coordinates to import into a Garmin 
device (if so, how?)


Right click your layer and export in GPX format. You might need to 
uncheck your lat and lon field to prevent getting an error.


Good luck!




It seems so basic, but I do not succeed.

Maria

[Qgis-user] How to get a point's coordinate for GPS?

Hi, 

I have been watching YouTube and reading tutorials the whole afternoon, but I 
do not get this simple task done: 

I have a map with several layers in EPSG:2444. Now I create another vector 
layer with points, which represents points that I have to go myself and check 
for several features. I will go there with my Garmin Etrex 10 GPS. 

So, I would like to 

- add the coordinates of the certain points into the attribute table to print 
out the table later.
- create a file with the coordinates in order to import it into the GPS device 
and walk along all points. 

My question: 

1. How do I get readable (GPS) coordinates into the attribute table 
(automatically, with field calculator or so)?
2. Can I export a GPX file or so from these coordinates to import into a Garmin 
device (if so, how?)
