[Qgis-user] QGIS on a mobile platform

[Mr. Stace D Maples]

Just seconding that Avenza PDF Maps has proved to be a very useful application for our researchers who need offline data collection on our their reference basemaps. Very simple to create data capture schemas,  and works well across multi-user editing. Free version is good enough for a few maps, but the expanded pay version is quite affordable, compared to other solutions, too.

(Please note that my laptop inserts random double keystrokes. Sometimes, I just can’t repair all  of it.)

Josh:

Another option is to use Avenza Maps (commercial) to view your georeferenced pdf's directly on a phone or tablet.  This makes a simple to use mobil solution that does not require an intenet connection

If you just want something that will show a georeferenced and your

current look at viking and gpsd.  I am not sure if it does

georerferenced pdf, but am 99% sure it will do geotiff.  I use it with

openstreetmap TMS for looking at tracks.



I don't know if any of that works on windows, but with cygwin/X I would

expect it would.  Maybe someone knows of a less-posixy approach.



You probably could just run qgis and use live gps, but that may be too

heavy for your win7-32 box.



Your subject said "mobile" which usually means phone/tablet.  Not what

you asked, but there are various qgis-world apps: input, qfield, SMASH

that might do you what want, and Trail Sense on android, which can just

about do georeferenced pdf, if the pdf is in web mercator, but I'm

having a hard time with qgis-produced maps.



Also not what you asked, but if anyone knows of a command-line tool to

just print out the georeferencing information from a pdf and check it

for conformance, please let me know, and it could be useful to Josh in

debugging next steps too.
