Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] projection difference
Hi John no worries. I took the time for an answer as this is kind of a topic that constantly pops up and needs detailed explanation. Regarding your track. You can double click on the track in the list. Or you select "Track Profile" from the menu (right click on the item in the list). Or you select "Track Profile" from the tool buttons when you click on the track in the map view. The double click will also zoom the view to fit your track. With Menu->View->Ext. Profile (crtl+e) you can toggle the profile widget between the small version (link in QLGT) or a window version that can be placed and scaled as needed. and you can select ranges in that extended profile. If the small version is active you can click on it to enter the track edit dialog. HTH Oliver Gesendet: Dienstag, 12.

My email was intended to compliment you for both QLGT and QMS. All users owe you a debt of gratitude beyond measure. Thank you again. At the risk of being a nuisance, can you comment on the way QLGT displays a high lighted track, and whether this could be an option in QMS? -- Cheers JohnG ___ using LINUX :: an operating system immune to Windose viruses -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ Qlandkartegt-users mailing list Qlandkartegt-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qlandkartegt-users
Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] projection difference
f view QMapShack solves many problems I ran into when using QLandkarte. From time to time I have to launch QLandkarte for support or to see how I solved stuff. Every time it's a small shock. There is a lot of difference. And yes, sometimes it's also a bit more confortable as there are less clicks used for some fuctions. However if QLankdarte would have evolved as QMapShack did, this simplicity would have been gone sooner or later. Up to now there is no effort to remove QLGT completely. Everyone is free to choose whatever software seems to be fit. And I do not see any reason to change that in the close future. Therefore if you do not like QMapShack keep on using QLandkarte. Never touch a running system if you do not have to. Oliver Gesendet: Montag, 11.

My ignorance, I was setting up the Grid and not the Map View coordinates, so everything is now square. I don't have trouble zooming QMS, however, when unzooming the the topo map disappears when the scale is 3.00km or more, which is a nuisance. May I comment on QMS v QLGT I have used QLGT for a very long time, and have monitored the development of QMS from the beginning. I am not a coder, and appreciate the enormous amount of work that Oliver and others have devoted to QMS. Virtually every demand has been catered for, and QMS has become the "Swiss Army Knife" of mapping. On the other hand I feel QLGT also has a place for those who do not need the sofistication of QMS. All some need is to do the things that QLGT does well, like simply look at a gpx file to see where they had been, or to plot a course using the Distance Polyline. QLGT does this without multiple windows and options. A QLGT feature I much prefer is the way QLGT draws a highlighted track, showing individual gps points which can be easily inspected or deleted to tidy up the track. The QLGT gui is simple and user friendly, no need to open/close windows, no need for projects, etc. For simple people like me, QLGT is more than adeqate. If QLGT is allowed to die, may be the gui could live on as an option for QMS(?).

Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] projection difference
Hi the map view of QLandkarte GT always uses the projection of the loaded map. In QMapShack on the other hand side you can define a projection for the map view as Wolfgang is pointing out. All maps and the grid are reprojected on-the-fly into the view's projection. The default projection of a view is Mercator. And your grid projection is Transversal Mercator which results into a slight rotation. But together with your grid your map should be rotated to, if the map has also a Transversal Mercator projection. Thus if you compare QLGT and QMS with a track everything should fit the map on both applications. The only difference should be that map, grid and track are a bit rotated in QMS. If that is the case everything is fine. If not there is a problem. As Wolfgang suggested you can change the view's projection to match your grid and map. But keep in mind that zooming into locations outside the given zone might end up into a totally weird screen. With Mercator projection you can have a TMS world map as basic layer and load your topographic maps on top of this layer. By that you have your details from the topographic map where it is available and for all other regions you have the TMS map. Using several different maps at a time is the big advantage of QMapShack compared to QLandkarte. HTH Oliver Am Sonntag, 10.

The same projection in Qmapshack causes the grid to be rotated 3-4degrees counter clockwise. +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=173 +k=0.9996 +x_0=160 +y_0=1000 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs Why would that be, and how do I correct the Qmapshack display? I am using NZ Topo50 geotiff map sources. Hi John, using QMS 1.11.1 on Windows 10 and setting both the grid and the map projections to your value I can't confirm your observation. In my case the grid lines are parallel to the edges of the screen. Rotating a snapshot of the map by 3 degrees with Gimp confirms my obervation. Could it be that the QMS map projection is different to the grid projection in your case?
