<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m relatively new to QGIS and love it so far. My goal is to Georef a PDF map of a college campus for my legally blind brother and have it at a VERY HIGH resolution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Method I’m using: Georeferencer plugin / Export map to Geo PDF<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Problems:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Skewing of the map<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Losing definition / resolution<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Can be done easier?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Details:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">When I mark the points of reference for my map, then open in QGIS, it is at a tilt. I am unable to rotate it and have it export pdf with the Geo option. It fails each time. If I don’t
rotate it, it will export fine.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">Even when it does export in this manor, I lose resolution. First off, I can only export the view, not the borders of the original map, and then I lose space depending on my screen
size / configuration.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">The Georeferencer plugin is awesome, but lacks options. There is an option in that tool to export to pdf, when I do that I have AWESOME resolution and everything I need BUT…. It uses
the coordinates from what looks like the Source X and Y, with approx. 0,0 at the top left of the map, and not the GPS coordinates. So if I open in Avenza, it puts me in the ocean near Afrika, not anywhere that my location should be. Is there a way to switch
that or build in an option to do it correctly so I don’t need to go into the QGIS export options at all? I can send pics if you’d like.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m open to trying other methods, and researching more as well so any help here is very very very much appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
