[Qgis-user] Anyone use UK Watsonian vice counties?

[Michael.Dodd]

Someone else has suggested an updated source here:
: https://github.com/BiologicalRecordsCentre/vice-counties
Am currently checking those polygons and so far they seem ok, they note there was an issue with the earlier version that I had been using, so the issue may now be solved.

Thanks

We're possibly talking at cross purposes.

I didn't follow the NBN link on that page, but instead used the the WFS URL ( http://geo.vliz.be:80/geoserver/wfs ) it provides which I connected to with QGIS and then added the Watsonian layer.

I suggested it because it may work for your purposes where your current dataset does not.

Then converted to wgs84 but when I try to use the polygons, 8 of them: West Norfolk, Herefordshire, Montgomeryshire, Shropshire, West Ross & Cromarty, Orkney, Outer Hebrides, and Zetland do not work in analysis. Qgis says there is a problem with those ones but says the rest are ok.
