After 10 years of OPENGIS.ch<\/a> giving to the QGIS community, here is our latest present. Happy birthday #fieldmapping with QGIS https:\/\/github.com\/opengisch\/qfieldcloud\/pull\/3<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What a journey it was and what plans do we already have… It has now been 10 years since I pushed the first scripts<\/a> to build Quantum GIS for Android and it is incredible what we’ve been able to achieve thanks to a vibrant community, sponsors and especially our fantastic team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At OPENGIS.ch<\/a> we strongly believe in giving back<\/a>. We live from open-source projects and are deeply committed to sustaining their technological and economic<\/a> well-being<\/a>. We also believe everyone should have access to the best possible tools and knowledge. By committing ourselves to develop open-source applications, we give everyone access to powerful tools to plan, review and mitigate geospatial issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why we are even more thrilled to have created and open-sourced a professional data and team management solution for the best QGIS fieldwork app<\/a> and would like to share a bit of the history of how we revolutionised field work by creating QField for QGIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prehistory – QGIS for Android is born<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stone-, bronze-, iron-age, you get it, the beginnings of field mapping in the QGIS world were pretty rough around the edges. It all started thanks to me being accepted<\/a> in the Google Summer of Code 2011 programme with the “QGIS mobile” submission<\/a>. In the following 3 months, I’d try, with the help of my mentors Pirmin Kalberer and Marco Hugentobler, to get Quantum GIS to run on my tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hi all, it is a pleasure to announce that I finally got Quantum GIS to start on an android (3.2) tablet (Asus transformer). I tested as well on a Samsung Galaxy phone with cyanogen mod 7 RC1 and it works well (with the obvious screen size limitations).
Qgis still doesn’t load many elements, but the GUI is there and the rest should be only minor issues. I\u2019ll post more as soon as I make further developments. Meanwhile, if you want to test the apk, you can download it from my GitHub here<\/a>. For building your own, have a look at qgis wiki<\/a><\/p>https:\/\/www.opengis.ch\/2011\/08\/17\/qgis-on-android\/<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
