So Tuesday I decided to go test QGIS at high altitude and went to the Breithorn and the Pollux with my best friend for a nice winter end tour. At the summit of Breithorn I took out my Galaxy, started QGIS and opened my basic project, turned on GPS Read more…
Thanks to FORNAT AG which sponsored me I could spend some time looking for solutions to make QGIS on android working with an external GPS receiver that sends NMEA strings. It all boils down to the following: via bluetooth works via USB not yet (as soon as I get more sponsoring or time I’ll look more into it since I’ve some ideas).

So, finally preparing for the next conferences, I made some videos demonstrating the current super status of QGIS on android. here you go: In this video I use all currently available features of QGIS on android. Part of the video is accelerated. In this video I use all available location based tools (GPS, Compass) for QGIS on android. the video is accelerated 2x. This video shows the full install procedure to get QGIS running on Read more…
