[Qgis-user] transferring data from ArcGis to QGIS

Fri Jan 20 06:50:43 PST 2023

Hi Janet, 
I'd recommend watching this video from QGIS North America 2020 user meeting, SLYR a bridge between ESRI and QGIS https://youtu.be/PfS6F6bOSEg

Cheers

>I just bought another GPS, a new model Globalsat one, BU-353N5, a replacement for the BR-355S4. This is not sending the $GP sentences, just the $GN ones. My GPS monitoring applications work OK with this on Linux & Windows, but QGIS on both platforms lists the device to connect to, but is unable to connect & use the GPS data. I can't even log the data with QGIS as QGIS won't connect to the port in the first place.
