[Qgis-user] Importing Polygon into QGIS

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

Well, I recently found out (when busy with this PR https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/46028),
  that you CAN use that url in the Locator Toolbar to fly to the right place.

But I was wondering IF that url was actually holding the coordinates of your red polygon... I googled:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22809103/what-is-the-encoding-of-the-data-attribute-in-the-new-google-maps

which says:

!1m14
   !1m8
     !1m3
       !1d3101.011519367493   // zoom level
       !2d-94.59454913903049  // longitude
       !3d38.99223345944582   // latitude
     !3m2
       !1i1024                // looks like some screen resolution,
       !2i768                 // but never changes
     !4f13.1
   !3m3
     !1m2
       !1s0x0%3A0xaf8a57446f312899
       !2sOne+More+Cup        // business name that I clicked
   !5e0
!3m2
   !1sde                      // language (german)
   !2s
!4v1404933052643             // timestamp

So it seems NOT possible to create the polygon from that url...

Or do other have other info?

Maybe you can use the OSM api (overpass?) to find polygons of municipalities?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
