Hi, I'm doing research on nesting sites and I'm trying to find out the average daily hours of sunlight each nest has per day using QGIS. I have the gps coordinates of the sites as well as the direction of the incline they are found on (N,S,E,W) as well as the slope of the coordinates.

I have some basic experience with Qgis but I haven't tried to do something quite like this before so I'm not quite sure where to start.

I would greatly appreciate any help, suggestion and direction that you can give me. Thank you.

Hi, I’m currently working on a public project that requires ArcGIS Pro 3.4 or 3.5 along with 1,000 ArcGIS Online service credits. I’ve noticed that local distributors (in Chile) are quoting unusually high prices (around $3,500 USD), and I’m trying to understand if that’s standard globally or if there are better options.

Does anyone know of trusted international resellers or Esri partners that offer better pricing or digital activation within 48 hours?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not entirely sure that GIS is quite what I'm after. It's not the exact use case, but the elements are right. I have a map with a pin for each location of a supermarket in a chain across the state. I've also imported a layer that overlays local council boundaries.

What I would like to do is somehow export a list of supermarkets that groups them by local council boundaries, if this is possible?

Normally, I do data grouping in excel, however in this case my data only shows where the supermarket is in relation to company districts, when I'm looking to report against a different set of boundaries I can't find a neat way to do it.

Any tips or thoughts? Really appreciate anything, even if it's a keyword to point me in the right direction :)

Apologies for the naive question. I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to make maps where I can overlay and combine various types of data, like parts of the US that are within 50 miles of an international airport but not within 50 miles of a Walmart. I just made that up, but that kind of thing. Purely for hobby purposes, comparing various data sources to discover patterns.

Anything out there that a hobbyist can mess around with? I assume the answer is No, You Turnip but I figured I'd ask

My wife and I live in D.C. and she is doing a really cool running project where she runs all of the official and non-official trails and runnable roads that are within Rock Creek Park boundaries throughout D.C. This doesn't just encompass the main section of the park, but also includes dozens of smaller satellite parks throughout the city. I want to create a map where we are able to determine all of the trails and roads required to complete the project, calculate the distance that is left to complete, and the distance she has already completed. She records all of her runs on a Coros watch that exports .gpx files to Strava. I'd love for her to be able to upload these .gpx files somewhere and for the map to determine whether she has completed a certain section and calculate the distances accordingly. I have absolutely no GIS experience, but love maps so I thought I'd post here and see what help I could get. I did download QGIS and played around with some map layers from D.C. gov and OSM that had some of the trails but not all of them. If I'm being realistic with myself she would complete the project before I create the map if I did it myself. Any thoughts on how I could get help to create this? What's the best program for this? Is this even the right subreddit to be posting in? Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. I am a Masters' Graduate in Geoinformatics and Spatial Data Science from Germany. I have graduated this year. Some of my projects include : " Drought prediction for Ethiopia using deep learning" " Estimating the area of applicability for land use and land cover classification - a case study for Sweden and Italy". " Plankton detection using deep learning"...

I have a satisfactory GPA. My Bachelor's degree was also in Geoinformatics. I would like to know about the career opportunities regarding this. I prefer hybrid roles in Industry or research organisations. However , I do not want to dive into deep learning though! I just want to leverage deep learning for Geospatial Research. I am looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you.

I need just a map where I could upload geotagged pics and they will stick to place. And give other people link to see (without edit)

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

My boss sent me a shapefile to work on, it's opening in Poland for me when it should be in Texas. My coworker had no trouble with the file.

Any suggestions for what I could be doing wrong? Sorry if this isn't the sub for this.

I can't seem to merge them because the output is a incomplete mess of images.

I am a student and I don't have the financial ability to purchase ArcGIS Pro right now for a single assignment. I'm planning to learn it first, and then I might switch to the paid version later

Hi everyone,

I’m conducting research for my master’s thesis on project management practices, tools, and methods in GIS.

My goal is to identify the factors that make GIS projects succeed (or fail) over the long term and to develop GIS-specific project management guidelines that improve resilience to technological and organizational change.

I’ve created a short anonymous survey. If you’ve ever been involved in a GIS project, you’re exactly the person I’d love to hear from : https://limesurvey.master-geomatique.org/index.php/489676?lang=en

I’m sharing the survey on several platforms, but my audience is still small because most of the accounts are brand-new. You can see all posts here, a simple repost on other platforms would be phenomenal ! https://erw.one/help#en

Thanks a lot for your help!

What is the going rate to charge for GIS mapping?

I am having one hell of a time trying to use an Iterator in Model Builder. No matter what I seem to do, the iterator causes my entire model to repeat itself. I apologize for the super messy model in the screenshot, but this is what the auto layout spit out for me. I have moved the iterator function to a slightly separate portion of the model. The data I am trying to iterate is not used anywhere else in the rest of the model. I want the iterator to go through all the .shp files in the location I have specified on its left, and then save them in the new .gdb and feature dataset that I created with the rest of the model. Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Do I need to put the iterator somewhere else in the model? I am really struggling here.

Hello to the whole community!

I am an Italian M35 and I am thinking about getting closer to the GIS world again. In the pre-covid period I played around a bit with QGIS but I never really completed a project, despite having attended two courses on GIS. My mistake. Browsing online, I found a good master's degree from the University of Padua ( https://mastergiscience.it/ ) and I had many questions about it?

In the meantime, what do you generally think of the above-mentioned master's degree? it offers the possibility of internship.

Have the latest technological advances in terms of AI changed the way we work? Are there fewer jobs with the advent of AI?

Thanks to anyone who would like answer

Hi everyone!

I have found this wonderful group while snooping around online.

I'm working on a little project and I wanted to spice it up with some map projections using data from a data portal.

I honestly am completely new to GIS but I think it would be an extremely valuable data projection to show on my final high school essay.

I have found data and tried to get help from AI on navigating and using different types of analyses in QGIS but I have been finding it quite tough to navigate through.

I was wondering if anyone could help me! I have all the data needed and the types of analyses I need to do (did a deep dive on GIS analyses).

Obviously I will compensate for the help.

Shoot me a message :)

Hello,

I am using QGIS and I cannot figure out how to easily label a point set that I have.

I have one layer with points distributed across a city. I have another layer with polygons that represent the 23 districts of the city. I would like to add a feature to the point list with a label that indicates what district the point is in.

I can see a why to do this by breaking the district layer into 23 individual layers and then use them to clip the point layer. I could then add the district label manual to each set of point and recombine. This seams like a tedious amount of work though, and I thought there would be a better way.

Is there a function that can do this? Do I need to use the function wizard to create a custom function. I have some experience but I am still quite new to QGIS.

Sorry if this is a simple problem, I'm quite a noob.

I've found this layer on ArcGIS Online (Brazil Indigenous Lands: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=322d13636595466883421d553f2af65a ), along with other layers on North American and Australian indigenous lands, which I've tried to merge and project to a Mollweide projection system, but it the Brazil layer doesn't let me do either. When I try to project it, it gives me a warning that "This data type is not supported" and "Parameter missing or invalid".

Do y'all know if there's any way to get around this? I've tried to 'Copy Feature' and 'Feature Class to Feature Class' but I'm not allowed to do it, neither is the 'export data' option when I right-click on the layer. See the picture.
I've tried adding different layers representing similar data (from different owners), but they won't work either:
https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c475d8cf43dd489895734467ada4dc85
& https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=53d18c4aee6b4011ac89e76475cf5040

I need to find the best way to add attachments from one layer to another in Pro. Basically, I have two polygon layers. One with all of my attribute information and building footprints: Buildings. And another with all of the attachments: Images. I am looking for an easy way to copy the attachments from Images to Buildings. The two layers do have a field in common: Name.

I tried using the Merge tool, but this won't work because the features are not in the same layer.

Open to any suggestions here, please help!!

I have some GIS and software development experience, and through the years I've accrued some grievances with the current software situation and am thinking of venturing out and start building some tools myself.

Is there anything you find lacking in today's tools? If you could wish for something what would it be?

Edit: Typos

ARCGIS Pro. Have a list of 19 features (each with dozens of sub features) that I’ve been trying to clip to a study area. I’ve been getting numerous error codes (one of which is attached), and often when I don’t get an error code the only thing that actually clips and is retained is just one or two of the 19 features.

I am learning GIS (mostly cartography) at work and for that, I have a good reason to request further employer-funded training. I will reach mandatory retirement age (federal wildland firefighter) long before I am old enough to actually retire. I enjoy the basics of GIS I have learned so far and I am wondering if a second career in the field is possible.

Is GIS a suitable second career? Would I benefit from a certificate program or will I be able to build a resume from OJT and supplemental training that my current employer sends me to?

Disclaimer- this is not my profession and I don’t have access to anything other than some free programs.

I found this GIS for Open Spaces in NJ. The data is more useful to me as a table or export to excel.

Basically, I’d like to make a list of all of my local parks and nature areas for my personal use.

G'day folks.

I'm working on a pet project in my spare time and looking for some datasets. I've had pretty mixed results in my own searches, hoping someone here might have some good intel.

Not expecting one universal dataset to have everything in it, I'm happy to piece things together. I'm looking for stuff from any period of history and any part of the world, really. Only exception is stuff that's too recent or too small-scale (e.g. 1920s USA state borders, historical county/parish borders or something).

Cheers!
