Re: [Qgis-user] raster noob orientation
Dr OM Chuck, great that you are looking into identifying SOTA peaks with QGIS! The European Copernicus Program supplies a DTM for Europe, with a spatial resolution of 12m. This should probably be good enough. You need to set up an account on their website. Also, take care to observe the coordinate reference systems, which is EPSG:3035 (ETRS89, LAEA) for the European data. The data can be downloaded here: http://land.copernicus.eu/pan-european/satellite-derived-products/eu-dem/eu-dem-v1.1?fieldsetlegend-download=True-selected-@dem-v1-1-e50n20 Good luck and vy 73, OE1LZW / Lukas On 10.08.2017 14:53, chuck y wrote: All, I want to start a new raster file project in GQIS 2.18.11 on win7, using a terrain raster image as layer one I have found numerous tutorials with sample data but so far no useful instructions on the finer points of how to do this simple task.

Re: [Qgis-user] raster noob orientation
Hi Chuck, Have you looked at SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) You can use https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/ to find the datasets available for your Area of Interest. Hope this helps.
