I'm new to GIS, got my degree in envir science and took a intro to arcgis course. Well we all know how expensive arcgis is so swapped to qGIS. Thank you for your work kind sir, helping me out as I both like visualizations and having someone walk me through it incase I mess up
Very useful thanks. A few quick questions - 1: What's your recommended data capture to for iOS & Android phones and tablets? 2: QGIS vs. Google Earth Pro for beginners, what are your thoughts?
1. If it is data entry in forms then Fulrum or Google Forms 2. Check out geemap for Google Earth in Python, but start with QGIS then Leafmap for Python, then geemap
Thanks Matt, Good tutorial but it is rather fast paced for novice or beginners on QGIS. Thou, handy feature with youtube is playback speed or play, rewind and ... All in all loved the tutorial.
A highly informative and info-dense presentation, Matt. A very useful intro, stem to stern. Thanks for your initiative. Q: In which format should the Refactored layer be saved/exported? geoJSON, like the other layer files?
Thanks man! Looking into a career in environmental science and am in my first year of college and this helps a lot. Exciting and very interesting stuff!
Pleaaase answer this someone. Why would you not just start with that thing he did that showed where all the streets and houses were? at 23:50 Why would you start with parks? Could you put in where all the streets and buildings are (the open street maps thing) without anything else first like all the trees and squirrels and random things? I've just been looking for something simple for months and this is still too cryptic for me. Are there any slower-paced tutorials anyone knows of?
I took a beginner to ArcVis Pro recently. It was pretty much the same length and level of this video. Apart from different names for tools and a different UI. From what I can see it is very much the same features and tools as each other. I have to keep with ArcGIS for my university but I will be using both no doubt. Thanks for the intro.
The projection WGS 84/ Psuedo-Mercator EPSG-3857 was not an option for me. Is there any reason why that would be or is there a way to for me to add it?
Hi Matt, Thanks for making this video. Its so much helpful. I tried loading CSV file as you showed @ time 32:47 but it doesnt show the dots for trees. I have changed the CRS as you mentioned in the video. Also, while applying "zoom to layer" function, it shows the Manhattan city. which means it is able to locate the trees location in Manhattan but its somehow not showing the dots. I also tried changing the size of the dots. just to make sure. Can you please help me with this? Thank you.
One thing not very clear to me when adding multiple layers to a map: those layers must use the same coordinate system, otherwise QGIS cannot overlap them, right? Like, if you use 2 geojson files of NYC from 2 different data sources, you must insure they have the same origins, same angle, same legend beforehand, the software itself cannot "detect AI-ly" how to overlap two different NYC maps as well as it can? Or do all maps use some same universal coordinate system.
So yes you need to re-project your data to be in one single projection. Once you have a layer in you can just right click it and set the projection to the project projection.
For future reference: If layers you're working with seem to disappear from your canvas after a process, or a process doesn't show a layer you want to work with in the parameters window or returns an error, then it's likely because the CRS don't match. You can also use the 'reproject layer' process to batch reproject.
This is exactly what I needed. College is great for learning ArcGIS, but they preset so many things. I was lost on opening QGIS and not knowing I needed to install a few basic plug-ins to start.
Hi Matt, I am looking for someone with QGIS expertise to provide some training to help me setup a more efficient system for my project (I work for a Landcare network in Australia- nonprofit organisation) and although I can get by- there are several areas where I could use some guidance. Is this something you could offer on a one-on-one basis? I have a small professional development budget. Thanks!
Hello! I loved your video. However, I didn't have the EPSG:3857 in my downloaded version. Can you please help me out in how I can add that to my QGIS? Thank you!
Hi, can i use this software to connect to a postgres DB with OpenStreetMap data (i can see you can do it). Then make some changes if necessary in QGIS, mainly on lines then save it in QGIS. Then can i export the data to update OpenStreetMap (what format should i use) or update directly the OpenStreetMap DB? Thank you!
Hi, Matt : Really appreciate your sharing, this video is benifit me so mush. May I ask some question about the "add vector" from "2015_Street_Tree_Census_-_Tree_Data_20240902.csv" file ? After I add the vector and follwoing your dirction completely, only orange-color points stay in the monitor. Besides, all things disappear while I switch "Layer CRS" to "Set EPSG:4326". Could you teach me how to fix this error ?
Watched it and still don't understand what the s/w actually does. I need a mobile mapping application for mapping out mine sites here in BC. Can I use this for that purpose and hook my GPS puck into my win 11 machine ?
I have an issue with refactoring the data. I have a CSV file with my coordinates and some statistical data (mean/ SD etc) which are all just number values. When i try to refactor my mean from text to decimal, it keeps failing to refactor. i want to use the mean values to generate a graduated color scheme similar to the tree stump but because the refactor fails i cant proceed. any help?
I would prefer you would post the links to the data sets in the description. your face covers the different data sets so it's hard to follow. I think you forgot to post
Thanks so much for this great Tutorial!...Wondering why you would think most people know what Central Park is...? I hope it is no surprise to you that the world is bigger than New York.
I cant download QGIS. It keeps on saying. That, I need to REPAIR THE INSTALLATION. When I try to REPAIR it. Like an idiot. It doesnt even repair it. It is very frustrating. I spent an hour and a half trying to download it. But NOPE. And, I had to manually remove it. Because, it gives that option. But, doesnt actually work. OMG. I even tried to download the most stable version 3.34 LTR nope. Seems as I am the only person facing this problem.

Hi Matt! Do you have a video that shows how to use the Corine Land Cover Data in QGIS?
This is exactly what I needed. College is great for learning ArcGIS, but they preset so many things. I was lost on opening QGIS and not knowing I needed to install a few basic plug-ins to start.

Wow Matt, I realize you call this a Beginners Course, but it's more Intermediate. Great job!!
Tried to fit a lot in there!
Great ,can i do my projects and later save them in ArcGis online
Yes!
Watched it and still don't understand what the s/w actually does. I need a mobile mapping application for mapping out mine sites here in BC. Can I use this for that purpose and hook my GPS puck into my win 11 machine ?

Thanks a lot for this video, it was very precise.
As a naturalist I smiled at the squirrel data, fur color can mean a lot.
So glad to hear that and glad the Squirrel reference hit home.
I have an issue with refactoring the data. I have a CSV file with my coordinates and some statistical data (mean/ SD etc) which are all just number values. When i try to refactor my mean from text to decimal, it keeps failing to refactor. i want to use the mean values to generate a graduated color scheme similar to the tree stump but because the refactor fails i cant proceed. any help?
I’m wondering if there is some data in there like “N/A” that won’t let you turn it to a number. That’s the most common thing I find.
can we change the OSM CRS? or any base map CRS? thanks
I would prefer you would post the links to the data sets in the description. your face covers the different data sets so it's hard to follow. I think you forgot to post
Will do!

Please do@@lovelycharmdesucatan7742

can you recommend some books regarding Gis & Rs.
Check out Locate Press!
I could not find the WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator EPSG:3857. Can you please help?
Try this.
CSR- Predefined Coordinated Reference System
Click- Projected
Click - Mercator
Scroll down you will see: WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator EPSG:3857
It should be there sometimes it defaults to showing recently used projections.
Thanks a lot Mr. Forrest!
Happy to help!
Why my setting option is missing from the toolbar? 😢
Perfect! Thanks a lot.
