Hi all.<br>
<br>
I am new to this program use. I have the following setup.<br>
<ul>
<li>I'm trying to use Qgis 2.0</li>
<li>My PC is with Windows 8 OS</li>
</ul>
The program downloaded successfully and I'm able to load my .shp and
Ortho layers, all well and good. Still learning, but ..........
Here is my current problem.<br>
<br>
I need to overlay a Google map containing some lake bottom contour
lines. The file I pulled in as a layer is a .jpg. I'm able to view
this layer if I zoom to its extent seperatly from the other layers,
so I know it is there.<br>
<ol>
<li>How do I get this layer in the location I need it to be in
relative to my other layers? Looking at the coordinates for
this layer extent it has defaulted to 0.0 at the upper-left hand
corner. From the properties box it will not let me change this
info?</li>
<li>If there is a way the register this layer, it looks like the
scale is about 50% of the size of my other layers. I got this
from using the linear measurement tool on both layers. Is there
a way to adjust the size of the jpg layer?<br>
</li>
<li>In making the above measurements I noticed that the units were
given in meters even though the coordinate system selected is
indicated in FT for both layers. ??</li>
</ol>
<p>Hope some one can point me in the right direction.<br>
</p>
<p>Mike K<br>
