After a week with QGIS members from all over the world we arrived back home and can say that once again, the QGIS developer meeting #13 was a great event. It started with the QGIS User Conference where a lot of interesting talks from experiences in day-to-day usage to low-level technology insights could be attended. Tim Sutton in the end took the chance to shortcut users and developers directly, asking for feedback and advice – Read more…
This post discusses how to improve the performance of pyqgis code which updates a lot of features by a factor of more than 10.
It is with great pleasure that we want to announce the new name for what was briefly known as QGIS mobile. Please welcome QField for QGIS™!
QField is an Open Source field data capture and management app fully compatible with QGIS™ which allows you to take your QGIS projects out of the office for effective field work while maintaining QGIS’ styling and edit widgets QField for great preparation time.
QField will be released for free on the Playstore with the possibility of donating to the project via paypal (preferred) or by buying the QField for QGIS Karma edition app.
It is with great pleasure the we want to share with you the demo video of version 0.2. of QGIS Mobile (temporary name) is a touch optimized interface for field work developed by OPENGIS.ch.
The QGIS mobile 0.2 video demonstrates some basic functionality like navigation, feature identification and attribute editing.
The QField 0.2 video demonstrates some basic functionality like navigation, feature identification and attribute editing.
For the first time we at OPENGIS.ch can celebrate with 2 people, Marco Bernasocchi and Matthias Kuhn both experienced QGIS developers and holders of a Master degree in GIScience.
After having worked individually in the last years, we have realized that there is a huge potential for us to join our knowledge – because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This is why starting from January 1st, 2015 we are working together as OPENGIS.ch LLC.
Hi, last night I helped teach some students of the UP (University of Philippines) how to do remote mapping for OSM (openstreetmap.org) data. It is extremely easy, just go to tasks.hotosm.org, login, choose a job, read the workflow tab, select a task (in the task tab) and finally click on ID. An online editor will open with the explainations you need. Go have fun helping Thanks Marco
Don’t use the donate button on the right, use the button at the bottom Hi all, as some of you know, I’m in the Philippines right now, on a WorldBank mission to help teach an open source planning, preparedness and response tool (inaSAFE) to locals. I’m in Manila where all is good. Hayan didn’t hit here and while it was hitting hard on the central and southern Philippines, I was safely in the north thanks Read more…
Update 2020: QField, the successor of QGIS for android supports ARM v7, ARM 64 bit, x86 and x86_64. Hi all, just a quick note to remind you all that currently QGIS for android runs on ARM v7 tablets only. I currently have no time to make an x86 build and since I got two emails asking why the galaxy 3 didn’t run qgis I wanted to put out a quick warning. And remember to contribute Read more…
Tonight I finally managed to workaround the last big missing feature. Due to bug 5170, the renderer’s user interface was missing, but after fighting for hours, a minor change in the code made all the UI work. So go download the latest nightly build and let me know ciao
The last few weeks have been super exciting and intense in terms of QGIS development. I’ve been working a lot and sleeping little to get the latest and greatest stuff to you in the nightly packages.
Beside the whole UI and stability work, the nicest feature is probably the mbtiles support. mbtiles are raster tiles in a sqlite database and are blazing fast, have a look at it in the video below.
