[Qgis-user] GPX, OS Grid References and Google Earth

[Des Callaghan]

Hello Forum,

 

I've just began to use QGIS, which looks like a wonderful piece of software.
I wonder if anyone can help me with a query. I have a hand-held Garmin
GPSMAP 62s GPS with which I collect waypoints while out in the field, stored
in a *.gpx file. Within QGIS I wish to:

 

Import the gpx file and have the waypoints plotted as points within the BNG
projection (EPSG:27700), each labelled according to their individual 'wpt'
tag held within the gpx file.

Create a new column within the table created from the gpx file and populate
this with the OS Grid Reference for each waypoint (e.g. SD4568798345). 

Add a Google Earth layer as background

 

Any help with achieving this would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in
advance.

 

Best wishes,

Des
