[Qgis-user] Question

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Mayank,

 

What sort of information were you hoping to gain from Google? The underlying imagery that can be used to digitise features into Open Street Map is often as up to date as Google. Maybe you could contact local OSM or Humanitarian teams and support adding further information to Open Street Map.

 

If you want to look at Google imagery in QGIS then you can do so from the Quick Map Services plugin.

 

Cheers - Phil

Thank you for replying.

I was working on a detailed map development of a certain state (Andhra Pradesh)

 in India. This would be useful in disaster management and would be accessible by all. 

Openstreetmap does not provide detailed features of the place that is why wanted to check if someone has found a way to use google information.

Any leads in this regards are appreciated

I don't believe it's possible to get Google data. Which is one of the reasons for the success of OSM. 

 

For my curiosity, what Google data do you want that's not in OSM?

Hello,

 

I want to import data from Google earth in form of points, lines and polygons like we do it from OSM. How can I do that? Please help I am new to GIS. 

 

Regards
