GeoJSON or GeoParquet

Very useful thanks. A few quick questions - 1: What's your recommended data capture to for iOS & Android phones and tablets? 2: QGIS vs. Google Earth Pro for beginners, what are your thoughts?

1. If it is data entry in forms then Fulrum or Google Forms 2. Check out geemap for Google Earth in Python, but start with QGIS then Leafmap for Python, then geemap

@peteryoung3524 4 ай бұрын

One thing not very clear to me when adding multiple layers to a map: those layers must use the same coordinate system, otherwise QGIS cannot overlap them, right? Like, if you use 2 geojson files of NYC from 2 different data sources, you must insure they have the same origins, same angle, same legend beforehand, the software itself cannot "detect AI-ly" how to overlap two different NYC maps as well as it can? Or do all maps use some same universal coordinate system.

@MattForrest 4 ай бұрын

So yes you need to re-project your data to be in one single projection. Once you have a layer in you can just right click it and set the projection to the project projection.

@LeMicronaut 4 ай бұрын

For future reference: If layers you're working with seem to disappear from your canvas after a process, or a process doesn't show a layer you want to work with in the parameters window or returns an error, then it's likely because the CRS don't match. You can also use the 'reproject layer' process to batch reproject.

I have an issue with refactoring the data. I have a CSV file with my coordinates and some statistical data (mean/ SD etc) which are all just number values. When i try to refactor my mean from text to decimal, it keeps failing to refactor. i want to use the mean values to generate a graduated color scheme similar to the tree stump but because the refactor fails i cant proceed. any help?

@MattForrest Ай бұрын

I’m wondering if there is some data in there like “N/A” that won’t let you turn it to a number. That’s the most common thing I find.

Pleaaase answer this someone. Why would you not just start with that thing he did that showed where all the streets and houses were? at 23:50 Why would you start with parks? Could you put in where all the streets and buildings are (the open street maps thing) without anything else first like all the trees and squirrels and random things? I've just been looking for something simple for months and this is still too cryptic for me. Are there any slower-paced tutorials anyone knows of?

Yes you could do that! This is just the order that I chose. Also check out the QGIS website as well.

I cant download QGIS. It keeps on saying. That, I need to REPAIR THE INSTALLATION. When I try to REPAIR it. Like an idiot. It doesnt even repair it. It is very frustrating. I spent an hour and a half trying to download it. But NOPE. And, I had to manually remove it. Because, it gives that option. But, doesnt actually work. OMG. I even tried to download the most stable version 3.34 LTR nope. Seems as I am the only person facing this problem.
