Introduction to QGIS
Published on by Vishakha Rajput, Previous COO The Water Network at AquaSPE AG in Technology
QGIS is a free source for mapping your Water and Sanitation data points.
QGIS, formally known as Quantum GIS, is a free, open-source cross-platform desktop GIS application.
It is similar to other GIS and can be used to create maps with multiple layers using different map projections.
The images can be georeferenced.
Advantages:
- QGIS can be integrated with other open-source GIS packages.
- It is possible to write plugins and add additional function options and more specialized tasks.
Geocoding (converting addresses to geographic coordinates) can be done with the Google Geocoding API.
A mobile QGIS version is currently being developed for Android.
QGIS Cloud is personal spatial data infrastructure (SDI) on the Internet. All the maps published on QGIS Cloud Free are available to anyone. Limiting accessibility can be achieved with QGIS Cloud Pro.
QGIS private Cloud is an excellent solution for planning and building an infrastructure. It provides security for your data and maps both on the intranet and internet and is easily installed on all platforms.
