[Qgis-user] GEO PDF and Avenza maps or similar

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Tony,

 

I would also suggest following the Input/Mergin projects that allow you to
place a QGIS project onto your device, complete with all your layers, forms,
styling, themes etc! Available for Android and IOS

 

https://inputapp.io/

https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/blog/2019/04/28/mergin-qgis-plugin/

 

 

There is also QFIELD for Android that does the same

 

https://qfield.org/

 

Both of these approaches mean its very quick to use your field collected
data when back in the office without having to transform data. Both are
under active development.

 

Cheers - Phil

Hi All

 

Hope everyone is well.

 

I have been experimenting with exporting maps as geo-pdf's and then opening
them on a mobile device (phone, tablet etc) using Avenza Maps.  It is
working well and as a bonus it's free.  Being able to add tracks and
waypoints on top of the PDF in real-time while being location aware is great
and exporting those added features for use in QGIS is reasonably straight
forward.

 

My question, apologies for the lengthy intro, is what product others are
using in the field to view geo-pdf's and have the ability to add
tracks/waypoints/features and then export to QGIS for future use?

 

Cheers

Tony
