Hello,<br>
<br>
I may be totally stupid, but I have tried to find information, but
all I do fails.<br>
<br>
Upon their kind referral I have downloaded the Scottish Government
Data Zone centroids 2011 from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sedsh127.sedsh.gov.uk/Atom_data/ScotGov/StatisticalUnits/subfeed_DataZoneCent2011.atom.en.xml">http://sedsh127.sedsh.gov.uk/Atom_data/ScotGov/StatisticalUnits/subfeed_DataZoneCent2011.atom.en.xml</a><br>
I have loaded the file into QGIS (first Brighton, meanwhile Wien)
and was able to add the OpenStreetMap layer.<br>
<br>
Then I tried to export the data for using it with a software that
uses digital lat/lon, but all I get is "Eastings" and "Northings".
So I read I may have to change the CRS, tried with WGS84 Mercator,
but that results in the same. I also tried to toggle edit and
recalculate, but the result when adding geometry $x is again the
Eastings/Northings (no matter which of the CRS I use), not the
expected longitude/latitude. I have installed MMQGIS and plugins
upon research on the web to no help.<br>
So yesterday I went three hours (oneway) to a local OSM stammtisch,
where I was told to use PostgreSQL for the task - tried and failed
(I am used to use MySQL, might be my fault). I was also told, more
than half the map-experts wouldn't know how to do this ;-)
Unfortunately I need those data quickly.<br>
<br>
Anyone able to help me, possibly also referring me to an existing
howto I did not find for a step-by-step to convert that data and
export to CSV that the CSV contains lat/lon as needed?<br>
If this is not the proper mailing list to address QGIS-questions,
please also advise. Any advise, even reference to somewhere else IS
appreciated!<br>
<br>
Thank you for any possible help!<br>
