As mentioned, import the GPX<br>file to QGIS, then save it as a EPSG:27700 projected shapefile. To do this<br>right-click on the GPX file in the layers panel, go 'Save As...' and set<br>'Format' to 'ESRI Shapefile'. Set the CRS for the new shapefile by clicking<br>to the right of 'CRS', and picking 'Selected CRS', then press the 'Browse'<br>button. In the window that appears enter '27700' (without the quotes) in the<br>'Filter' field. Highlight 'OSGB 1936 / British National Grid' in the list<br>below and press 'OK'. Then give the new shapefile a name and click 'OK'.<br><br>Next, load the new shapefile into QGIS, right-click on it in the layers<br>panel and go 'Set Project CRS from Layer'. You can now add OS grid<br>coordinates to the shapefile's attribute table. To do this, highlight the<br>layer in the layers panel and (from the top menu bar) go Vector -> Geometry<br>Tools -> Export/Add geometry columns. All you need to do here is tick 'Save<br>to new shapefile', give the new file a name and press 'OK'.<br><br>Now load the new shapefile and have a look at the attribute table<br>(right-click on the layer in the layers panel and go 'Open Attribute<br>Table'). You should find that it contains two new columns, one for OS<br>eastings (x-ordinates) and the other for northings (y-ordinates). The<br>ordinates form OS grid coordinates, not grid references (ie. SD4568798345<br>will be shown as 345687 498345, for example). QGIS doesn't know about<br>Ordnance Survey grid references I'm afraid, but if this is a problem then<br>come back.<br><br>Nick.<br><br>--<br>View this message in context:<br><a href="http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/GPX-OS-Grid-References-and-Google-Earth-">http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/GPX-OS-Grid-References-and-Google-Earth-</a><br>tp4907061p4909729.html<br>Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<br>_______________________________________________<br>Qgis-user mailing list<br>Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user<br>-----<br>No virus found in this message.<br>Checked by AVG - www.avg.com<br>Version: 2012.0.1913 / Virus Database: 2411/4953 - Release Date: 04/22/12<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Qgis-user mailing list<br>Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br>http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user<br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
