QGIS User 0002 - GeoPackage with Rasters

Using GeoPackage with Rasterdata? In this video I show you how.

[@JacSteiner]

8:48 - Crucial tip for adding multiple rasters to same geopackage. Thanks Klas.

[@MuratUsubaliev]

Thats right!

[@huntersrow64]

Thanks for covering this topic!!

[@carlosreys9]

Thank you very much!

[@mattpitts74]

Thanks Klas, your videos on geopackages are really helpful, I have been testing out geopackages over the last few weeks and so far they have been working with vectors. Let hope they improve the translate options for appending rasters, I have a whole folder of raster images that I would like to put into a geopackage, but I'm struggling to get this working within QGIS. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Thank you for this!

I realize I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@nikolaiaarav3032]

@Anders Milan Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)

[@aldenbrennan6469]

@Nikolai Aarav yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :)

[@andersmilan6937]

@Nikolai Aarav Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !

[@nikolaiaarav3032]

@Anders Milan glad I could help =)

Hi Klas, thanks for the good work, I really benefited from your videos, I wanted to know how I can design & build a custom map for a city and give zoning for local companies to subscribe and navigate and search for customer ZIP code Locations for delivery. thanx

[@1adamgarcia2003]

what is this used on?

[@crtnnn]

How does geopackage handle rasters nowadays on Windows? Any update since the video?

[@KlasKarlsson]

It does it really well. At least in QGIS. ArcGIS reads the most common types but not all. But that is not a problem for GPKG.

[@crtnnn]

@@KlasKarlsson Nice. Thanks for such a quick answer. Currently I am in the middle of leading QGIS course and I want to implement GeoPackage to my students next week. Your tutorials are a big help for me! I just saw your newer video on gpkg you published like a year ago :). Now I see it's potential.

[@crtnnn]

@@KlasKarlsson Unfortunately, I still do most of the course in Shapefile, because, at least in my country, it is still the most commonly used format in offices, public units, etc... However it will probably only be a matter of a few or so years when gpkg will become the default format...I hope

What is the difference between Geopackage and shake files, how do you translate shape files from arcgis into QGIS

[@KlasKarlsson]

Geopackage is a more future proof standard geodata format than the old shape file. Shape files still works in both ArcGIS and QGIS, without the need for conversion. Geopackage has none of the shape file limitations and it can store a lot of different kind of data for your geodata needs. QGIS can read and write Geopackage, ArcGIS can read it, but only write through geoprocessing tools so editing data in a Geopackage is only feasible in QGIS.

[@nearch2471]

@@KlasKarlsson WIll ESRI users be able to batch export GPKG layers to edit, similar to how we deal with GDB directories in QGIS? I'm switching to GPKG but will still need to provide data to other GIS colleagues.

[@KlasKarlsson]

@@nearch2471 According to Esri, ArcGIS Pro versino 2.6 (soon to be released) will be able to edit GPKG directly. To what extent and for what types of geodata still remains to be seen. For now this should be a question for Esri, but I'm carefully optimistic.

How to set default CRS in geopackage in a multiple layers with different CRS?

[@KlasKarlsson]

You set the layer crs when it is created. You can't set a overall default crs for all layers in a package. As long as each layer have the correct crs, they should display just fine in a GIS. If you want to change a layer crs, it needs to be reprojected and re-saved.

[@GregBreak]

@@KlasKarlsson what about package layers with different CRS? Wich is the master?

[@KlasKarlsson]

@@GregBreak Each layer has its own crs, none is more important than any other. It isn't any different from saving separate layerfiles in a folder. No layer in the folder is the master.

[@GregBreak]

@@KlasKarlsson sorry, I didn t explain well. When you open a geopackaged project with multiple layer how is decided the main CRS? I know that each layer maybe has differnt CRS but it's reprojected on the fly anyway one reference will be the master for sure
