[Qgis-user] Adding coordinates to layer

[Huesmann, Michaela]

Hello Paddy,

I guess it will work with a Shapefile (or Geopackage) that allows multi-point feature type. Then it works in the same way as if you want to add an additional part to an existing geometry.

You can open the attribute table and select one dataset there. Then activate the map window, zoom in and klick on „add part“ (don’t know the exact english words because i use the German version). This works even if there is no geometry existing yet.

Hope it helps you.
Best regards,
Michaela

Betreff: [Qgis-user] Adding coordinates to layer

Hi
  I have a csv file with data about various mines. It includes descriptions of locality  but no coordinates. I have added this file to qgis and created a shapefile. I now want to add the coordinates of each mine by searching for its locality on a basemap in qgis then clicking on the map to add the coordinates to the shapefile attribute table.  Is this possible or do I have to search for each location on Google Earth, for example, then write out the coordinates and add them to the attribute table manually?

Thanks

Paddy
