Including Koordinates datasets to QGIS projects

There are two ways to include Koordinates data into your QGIS project.

Add

Once you’ve searched and located the dataset that you want included, select the Add + button. The dataset will be added to your current QGIS project.

Note: Regardless of the dataset type, it will be added to the project as a Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), which can be considered as similar functionality as a raster layer.

Projection

By default the data will be added in WGS 84 Pseudo-Mercator EPSG:3857, although you can alter this as required to suit your projects requirement.

Clone

Cloning a layer creates a local copy of the dataset onto your PC, to be added to the project.

Note: Cloning is currently only available for the following data types:

vector
point cloud

Raster and grid data types will be available in the future.

To ensure you have the latest data, it is recommended that you utilise the Kart plugin.

Unlike Adding data, this data will retain the data type, and will be as interactable as it is within Koordinates.

When the dataset allows, you'll be able to interrogate the data, view the underlying table and attributes, and conduct calculations.

To clone a dataset

1. Search and locate the dataset in the Koordinates plugin

2. Select 'Get'

Kart dependency

Cloning requires your account to have Kart functionality enabled.

If your account doesn’t have Kart, when you first attempt to clone, you’ll receive this message.

1. Select Request access

Your browser will navigate to the Kart access request page.

Provide your name and email address associated with your account, and within a few hours (depending on sync period) Kart functionality will be enabled, and you’ll be able to clone.
