[Qgis-user] RES: Something simple!

[Juliano Augusto Candido Silva]

Hi Janer.

I  advise u to use XY Tools Plugin in QGIS, which allows you to quickly add any Coordinate-related information in the map. U just need to use the right Coordinate System.

Go in Plugins -> Add Python Plugin and search for XYTools. Once u did it, a blue button will appear in the Toolbar.
The point now is to adjust your information in an Excel Table and export as CSV. After that, open the XY Tools and ADD the CSV file with the information, and u'll see it on the map.

Hugs

I'm a new user, for doing archaeological plots, who is finding the available info very complex and never quite relating to my current problem.

All I need to do is to be able to put some small points onto a map and then print out the map with the ref points on it. I have the GPS coordinates for each of the six points and I have a suitable map loaded into QGIS, but whatever I try I don't seem to be able to add the points onto a map successfully.  This is not a situation where one raster layer can be laid over  another directly as the base map is of an open area with earthworks, and the coordinates are of surveying points we used as Control Stations.

Can anybody help me with what I expect is all too easy when you know how please?  I would be so grateful!

Best wishes to all,

Janer
