@@Defiantlizard oh no! Are you in the UK?

It may be that you need the long term build for now if support isn't in there for some reason?

thanks for the quick reply, yes I'm uk based. I'll try the ltb and let you know!

Got it! Had to go to project-properties-crs and then it appeared in options! (Google was my friend) Thanks again for help, until the next time! Regards Tony.

I'm really glad it was helpful 😊

@@Bantammenace1903 I believe so 😊

Glad it helped!

@@jimbmaldon it works just fine with windows 10. I've even had it running on a raspberry pi microcompter. Just make sure you meet the minimum spec. Here's the link: grab the 3.38 MSI from here: download.qgis.org/downloads/

I'm not sure if they're in the environment viewer downloader, but they definitely have lidar datasets for download.

The LiDAR Composite doesn’t appear to be available for Scotland.

@@davidshanks2686 it is but you have to grab the whole dataset for the relevant grid ref. www.data.gov.uk/dataset/b2a13ea4-ff37-4da9-be2e-a1bc5e5c55b3/1m-lidar-composite-dsm-dtm-for-scotland

@@kasperponte6423 of course it's one of the first things I wanted to tinker with. The categoric answer is no. It's too subjective where chatgpt is very general. Does it exist on ai? Yes absolutely. I can't remember her name, but an archaeologist spent 7 years building and training a model specifically to identify historic sites from lidar data. Its mega money to access of course and only available to official bodies/institutes understandably

I cant right this second, but to replicate the hillshade will be easy. Just upload your DEM and write: create a hillshade with a zfactor of 15 using matplotlib

@@unearthers You're a star, cheers dude

Like all things it's a research tool. Using this and other methods can help lead to a much better chance of finding treasure. I have personally helped lead people to hoards and treasure finds.

Thanks Griff 🙂

If you have a look in the description, there's a link (not maintained by me) to potential sources of lidar from around the world 🙂

Thanks very much. Sorry it was a bit rushed. I know pockets of the US have lidar data available, but in varying quality. Have a look at the link in the description for other lidar sources 🙂

Thanks so much 🙂

It's a recap with latest software and a run through at speed of all of the basics videos I've done hence it being a 40 minute beast. Sorry about that!

@@unearthers Hey don't apologies matey - it's all really helpful stuff!... Thanks again, BK 🙏🏻

You're very welcome. I hope it's useful :-)

Yes there are, but some areas are limited. Take a look at my latest video uploaded today. There's a link in the description with worldwide places to obtain data

This specific video relates to UK maps. Not all countries in the world have governments who provide this data which is usually taken via aircraft. If it isn't available, then you wouldn't be able to create the maps, sorry.

ive sussed that bit out, now i cant get two panels to display side by side, only individually.

Hi David, you should be able to drag the panels and arrange the workspace how you want. Sorry, I'm out on the fields today, but I'll try to reply later if you're still struggling.

I've replied on your comment on another video 🙂

​​@@unearthers سيدي لشكرٍ لك هل تخبرني اذا بأمكاني كشف الذهب التركي المدفون هل هناك طريقه او خامات الذهب

Glad I could help 🙂

Not all, but lots. It's the resolution that will vary more than anything

thank you

You're very welcome 🙂

Thanks. Give the QGIS tutorials a go though. A bigger learning curve but much more useful long term 🙂

@@unearthers Do you know of a Mac equivalent to Easy View? When I went to download it I realised it's 100% Windows-based. I've tried searching online but as I'm not really sure what I'm looking for (ie a generic term for that kind of software) I'm not having much luck. Any guidance you can offer would be much appreciated👍

Try QGIS. Have a look at my playlist for getting started. 🙂

@@unearthers Much appreciated - I'm on it right now

Hey Michael, if you head to view - panels (I think) - layers then it should pop up. You can also load view - panels - browser as well which is also visible in the left panel 🙂

@@unearthers hiya I’ll give that a bash mate i did message you on fb too thanks buddy

@@markjohnnojohnson5352 I'll check. Apologies I've been away on a dog for the past week or so 🙂

@@unearthers no problem mate! Well I’ve got that box back lol 😂 I’ve messaged you again on messenger with the problem I have adding the files to the app if you get a min

Hi Darren, originally yes, not too far away. If you're checking out the tutorials, head on over to the playlist and pick up qgis. A bigger learning curve but infinitely better

Thanks Arthur. I've got tons more I need to do, but it's always a time thing isn't it 🙂

Hi there, it depends on how you record the finds. If you use an app where you can export gpx or kml files, then you can import them directly into qgis as a layer.

@@unearthers - At the moment I just record the BNG coordinates by photographing the find alongside a handheld GPS. In the GIS system I use at work (Global Mapper) it's trivially easy to create a point at given coordinates. I can't seem to work out how to do this with QGIS :-(

@@peterbriggs3408 ah right, ok. Yes global mapper makes a lot of things easier and it took me a long time to step away. It's not perfect, but you can edit the location of an existing point on a map gis.stackexchange.com/questions/296574/creating-a-point-in-qgis-3-2-2-with-coordinates

Yeah - spotted that one. Just seemed odd that it was so difficult rather than just a basic function

@@peterbriggs3408 there's a few quirks with qgis for sure, but it's infinitely more expandable than Global Mapper and free. My work also pays for global mapper which I do use, but I wouldn't want the licencing bill, that's for sure. If you use a GPS unit to record location, you should be able to export all of the spots as a kml or gpx file somehow. If you're recording lots of locations, I think that's how I'd do it.

Hi, sorry to hear that. Make sure you are using the correct cable and not using a USB hub preferably. Follow the update sequence on the online app to the letter. Good luck!

@@LukeSmithKitchen my Mac has USB C connections so I have to use a hub.

@@mikedevries4157 may be ok with the hub. If I remember, mine was in a hub but they do advise not to. What browser are you using?

@@unearthers google chrome

Yes you have to have an account and no you dont need windows now. The whole update is don't via browser. It's only compatible with a limited number of browsers but includes Chrome, Opera, Edge etc...

Yes we have accounts that we still can’t access almost 24hs later. or create a new account..

I was wondering about Linux, but presumed it'd work with a compatible browser for updating

Same here

@@jonfranklin9361 I hope this fix doesn’t take as long as it did to get the new update

Same here won't let you reset password????

Hi Joseph, I suspected it was due to the volume of traffic, and I've just heard that their verification server is lagging. I'm sure they'll have it cleared soon, but there will be a ton of people jumping on to try.

@@jonfranklin9361 Hi Jon, as I said to Joseph above, XP are having some server issues which they're working on sorting out very soon. A lot of sign ups and visitors to update today

I'll take young any day of the week! 😆

@@uneartherswill seeing I is 65 that make you younger than me

While it isn't officially supported by Mac, you may be able to update using a virtual machine, however that in itself can bring around issues.

So, all of my data is published by the UK government. I know in other areas of Europe, various countries do something similar, but you'd have to do some research.

Scotland do their own thing with Lidar. Not everywhere is covered, but have a Google for Scotland lidar. Also I'd recommend checking out my QGIS video which will give you a better base to work from

You can certainly try it. Have you checked out my pairing video?

@@unearthers thanks I got it it was the serial number turns out the D was supposed to be a 0

@@markkus1134 Ah yes, I tripped up originally at the same point. Should've mentioned it! Sorry 🙂

@@unearthers lol it’s hard to see those numbers and letters

Thanks Maddox, yeah that was the idea. I was fed up of 10 minute videos for 30 seconds of info 🙂

You're very welcome 🙂

Not with Cari's Mike, it literally is a view only, but take a look at my other lidar videos and getting started with QGIS where I've helped simplify things for metal detectorists

Start here kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4mzZnxjiq6FgdU

That'd be a question for XP Greg, but at a guess I'd say it's because you are pairing it with headphones, so you'll be listening in full, you don't really need the vibrate too.

@@unearthers If that was the case no PP would offer vibration since I can hear them all.

@@gregparker5732 yes, but not directly to a headset. I agree it should be an option though.

Thanks Jon. It's handy when looking for homesteads, I can tell you 🙂

Hi, no they don't. 🙂

It's coming soon! www.cadden.fr/en/a-map-of-france-in-lidar-soon-accessible-to-all/

Hi Sam, I'm so sorry, I missed this. Hopefully you've got it sorted, but if not: To enable it, go to Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins... -> Installed and check the checkbox next to "Processing".

Hi Amanda, thanks! Have a closer look, that vid was made on a mac 🙂. Platform doesn't matter, QGIS is completely opensource and available on mac, linux, PC, whatever you fancy. I've even run the software on a little Raspberry Pi Computer. Start at the beginning here with the 'getting started in under 15 mins' video and work through: kzbin.info/aero/PLyVEerc-3iK-FB30MDtHwbJkrdZEKwHRc

Let us know how you get on Rich. It's not a replacement for hillshade, but as an overview tool, brings a lot to the table.
