Hi Heidi,

Esri South Africa has a service for the NGI imagery between 2008 and 2012.
see this link:
https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=9d01fa9041264cb283c353a5a613c81e

and here is the url to the service itself:

I don't think so - its not really set up for doing inter-layer references. I wrote a few lines of python that will do it though (assumes you have two layers loaded with names a and b in the layers list:

reg = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance()
a = reg.mapLayersByName('a')[0]
b = reg.mapLayersByName('b')[0]
collection = {}
index = QgsSpatialIndex()
for f in b.getFeatures():
   index.insertFeature(f)
   collection[f.id()] = f

with edit(b):
    for af in a.getFeatures():
        p = QgsPoint(af['lon'], af['lat'])
        box = QgsRectangle(p, p)
        for key in index.intersects(box):
            feature = collection[key]
            print feature['name'], af['name'], af['lon'], af['lat']
            feature['name'] = af['name']
            b.updateFeature(feature)



Just paste that into the QGIS python console and it will update the name field of b with the value in a for the places where the attributes lon, lat in a intersect b.

Please test in a sandbox before trying on your production data....

Dear list

can anyone advise whether the NGI 50 cm colour orthophotography is available as a WFS in QGIS?

Kind regards,

Do you mean WMS? If so you can use this unofficial URI:

http://aerial.openstreetmap.org.za/wms-ngi-aerial

I'm not sure if it has the most current imagery in it though - grant slater from OSM could probably comment on that...

Hi Tim

thanks, yes I meant a Web Map Service.

The website you sent gives the following error "mapserv(): Web application error. Traditional BROWSE mode requires a TEMPLATE in the WEB section, but none was provided. "'

Just open QIGS, (or your *cough* other GIS app) and add a new WMS connection using that URL and it will work.
