Rant? This WCS investigation started off because my PDOKServicesPlugin was not working for the PDOK WCS services anymore. I wanted to see all fired network requests, so am creating a future plugin for that: https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/qgisnetworklogger. But I hit all kind of issues when trying out the service(s). This is some write up of my findings […]

For those interested in dutch OpenData: our national OpenData service PDOK has a Solr based geocoding service available. Since this week it is possible to search for ‘parcel’ codes to find cadastral parcels, but also to search on so called ‘hectometer-paaltjes’: the little green number signs you see when you drive the dutch highways. So […]

Via twitter: AmsterdamTimeMachine.nl. Jan Hartman’s and WebMappers hard work of georeferencing a set of Old Amsterdam maps: http://amsterdamtimemachine.nl. 6 XYZ-Map services with maps old as 1625 to have a look into history, off course also to be loaded in QGIS 🙂 Wanna see ‘the red light district’ in 1625? Or see Dutch 17th century glory […]

What is a Locator (plugin) Some months ago, Nyall Dawson silently dropped a nice widget into the lower left corner of your QGIS screen: People familiar with QtCreator (the Qt-development environment) should recognize it as a QtCreator Locator look-a-like: a way to (very) quickly search in your project for words, classes, bookmarks, help topics, files […]

This post is to announce the availability of a new version of the PdokServicePlugin. Unless a heavy user of Dutch Public Datasources (WMS, WFS, WCS), this is probably mostly interesting for Dutchies. But if you want to know how many kilometers somebody is living from the nearest Fire Department Station:

Sorry, this entry is only available in Dutch.

The total number of layers is now 6723 (coming from 5298). Most important changes: Removed: – brtachtergrondtijdelijk – brtachtergrondgrijstijdelijk – top10nl (nu: top10nl2) – Noordzee Kabels en […]

New PDOK services This post is mostly interesting for dutch readers, as our national OWS service ‘PDOK’ added some new services. And we made them (5000 layers) available via the PDOK services plugin. Change predefined scales But I also want to show that you can change the predfined scales that you see in the Scale […]

Just a short post in case you missed it. Since some time QGIS is coorporating with spreadshirt.com, so we can open ‘virtual shops’ all over the world to sell QGIS t-shirst, caps and mugs. So: check your size, and go via this page to the nearest QGIS-shop and make your friends jealous with our great […]
