    Uploaded by

    qazi waleed
    This document discusses geocoding and reverse geocoding in QGIS. It defines geocoding as converting addresses to spatial coordinates and reverse geocoding as converting coordinates to addresses. It provides steps for performing single address geocoding and reverse geocoding using plugins in QGIS. It also describes how to perform bulk geocoding of addresses from a CSV file using the MMQGIS plugin.

    Base Maps

     What is Base Map?


     A map depicting background reference information such as landforms,
    roads, landmarks, and political boundaries, onto which other thematic
    information is placed.
    CE-318L: GIS/RS APPLICATION TO CE (GEO INFO ENGINEERING) LAB 4

    Base Maps

     Plugins for Loading Base Maps


     OpenLayers
     QuickMapServices

     Note: Both of these plugins are web based, hence, these plugins will
    work only when connected to internet.

    Geocoding

     what is Geocoding?
     A GIS operation for converting street addresses into spatial data that
    can be displayed as features on a map, usually by referencing address
    information from a street segment data layer.
     Two sets of data are needed for the geocoding process - the address
    data that you want to place on a map, e.g., a list of addresses, and the
    GIS data layer that you will use as the geographic reference layer,
    e.g., a city's street centerlines layer or a parcel address point layer.
     Input: “University of Peshawar, Pakistan’’
     Output: “xxxxxx N, yyyyyy E"
    CE-318L: GIS/RS APPLICATION TO CE (GEO INFO ENGINEERING) LAB 6

    Geocoding in QGIS

     Workflow:
     Add georeferenced raster data layer
     Install Geocoding Plugin
     Plugins > GeoCode > Settings
     Set GeoCoder to Google (or openstreetmap)
     Select appropriate scale (e.g. 1:200)
     Plugins > GeoCode > GeoCode
     Insert Address and select appropriate CRS.
    CE-318L: GIS/RS APPLICATION TO CE (GEO INFO ENGINEERING) LAB 7

    Reverse Geocoding in QGIS

     what is Reverse Geocoding?


     A GIS operation for converting spatial data into Street addresses.
     Input: “xxxxxx N, yyyyyy E’’
     Output: “University of Peshawar"
    CE-318L: GIS/RS APPLICATION TO CE (GEO INFO ENGINEERING) LAB 8

    Geocoding in QGIS

     Workflow:
     Add georeferenced raster data layer
     Install Geocoding Plugin
     Plugins > GeoCode > Settings
     Set Geocoder to Google (or openstreetmap)
     Select appropriate scale (e.g. 1:200)
     Plugins > GeoCode > Reverse GeoCode
     Click on the map canvas (to specify spatial data) and select appropriate
    CRS.

    Bulk Geocoding in QGIS

     If you have a CSV formatted file containing addresses, you


    can take advantage of QGIS to map out those addresses.
     In order to geocode addresses from a CSV file, you will
    need to first install the plugin MMQGIS.
     For installing MMQGIS plugin:
     Plugins > Manage and Install Plugin > mmqgis
    CE-318L: GIS/RS APPLICATION TO CE (GEO INFO ENGINEERING) LAB 10

    Bulk Geocoding in QGIS

     MMQGIS Workflow:
     First convert data containing addresses to CSV format.
     MMQGIS > Geocode > Geocode CSV with Google /
    OpenStreetMap
     Specify input CSV file, fields, name and address for output Shapefiles
    and Ok
