Hi Torsten,<br><br>Have a look at Faunalia's QGIS intro, whilst it's specific for the UK, it does deal with raster data (which is what the dem is likely to be).<br><a href="http://www.faunalia.co.uk/qgisgettingstarted">http://www.faunalia.co.uk/qgisgettingstarted</a><br><br>The user manual is also quite comprehensive:<br><a href="http://qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html">http://qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html</a><br><br>Hope this helps,<br>Michael<br><br><div>> Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 09:45:19 +0100<br>> From: jonathanmoules@warwickshire.gov.uk<br>> Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] free DEM data in QGis<br>> To: Torsten Lange <tlange@gwdg.de><br>> <br>> <br>> Hi Torsten,<br>> If your question is how do you get the (SRTM) data, try something <br>> like:<br>> http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/NewEarthExplorer/ - Earth Explorer from the <br>> USGS<br>> Or http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ - or various other places.<br>> If you just want to use it as a basemap then I'm guessing you just <br>> add it like a regular raster. If you want to use it to drape other data <br>> over so you can do 3D I'm not sure if QGIS could do that or if it would be <br>> the best solution - there are other open-source GIS's for that.<br>> Hope that helps.<br>> Jonathan<br>> <br>> From: Torsten Lange <tlange@gwdg.de><br>> To: Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>> Date: 02/08/2011 23:55<br>> Subject: [Qgis-user] free DEM data in QGis<br>> Sent by: qgis-user-bounces@lists.osgeo.org<br>> <br>> Hi!<br>> <br>> I'm novice to use free DEM data. I work on a medium (~60km) scale area in <br>> Germany. It's basically about geology. As don't need accurate DEM data for <br>> the <br>> time being I read through google that gtopo30 or (even better ?) DTED data <br>> <br>> from German Aerospace Center may be utilized, which are all free of <br>> charge.<br>> <br>> Actually I don't know where to start. Could anyone please give some <br>> comments <br>> about how would be the general procedure to load those data into QGis? <br>> Useful <br>> links are appreciated.<br>> <br>> Thanks in advance,<br>> Torsten<br><hr size="2" width="100%"><br></div> </div></body>
