QGIS Support
Need support for QGIS? QGIS can open and read multiple formats as well as perform analysis and convert data to almost any format you would need. North River Geographic Systems, Inc has been working with QGIS and other FOSS4G Software for over 12 years. We use QGIS daily and have helped several organizations either implement or replace other geospatial software with QGIS. Along with QGIS we’re also using PostGIS, Geoserver, GDAL, and GRASS
Tennessee’s NG 911 Support
Delivering 911 Data to the State of TN? We offer a solution centered around PostGIS/QGIS/Geoserver and other open source geospatial components to help you create maintain, and deliver data to the state. QGIS can be installed on as many desktops as needed at no extra charge. Deliver data to your Dispatch? We can deliver Shapefiles, File Geodatabases, and several other formats. Once installed we offer technical support, training, and any other help you might need.
Training
Thinking about adding more FOSS4G to your Organization? We are slowly building out an online training platform to offer QGIS training and other classes. Our introductory class has been taught for over 10 years. We have classess in LIDAR and Model Designer also. Need face to face training? We can do that also.
Mobile Data Collection
Mobile Data Collection? Mergin Maps is a plugin to QGIS as well as a Cloud Environment. It all centers around QGIS. Whether you’re using PostGIS or Geopackage (or another database to house your data) it’s a simple but powerful addition to your Geoaptial Toolbox.
Ramblings on Geospatial, Life, and other things
The Big TN Conference Pt 2
...aaand I'm back home. So I've been to a lot of conferences. Some Good. Some Bad. This one was good. Better than I had hoped. So what was my main takeaway from it? They keynotes were a great contrast of people/computers. OSM is all about the people. I had no clue how...
The Big Tn Conference
By the time you read this I will be sitting in the outskirts of Nashville Tennessee for the annual State Wide GIS Conference. I've attended this conference for the last 15 or so years off and on. There were come years I missed - some I went joyfully...some I just...
My So called Life as a Map Maker
I can sum it up: It's not much of one. Way back in my younger days I was infatuated with ArcPlot (which was the plotting portion of ArcINFO). From there I moved to Arcview, ArcMap, and eventually here to QGIS. All of my work typically revolves around Data. I usually...
Tricks with an ESRI File Geodatabase
A few years back I jumped in way over my head with QGIS/Postgis. I had moved a process out of one software and into my favorite two (QGIS/PostGIS) and little did I know the final output had to be a ESRI File Geodatabase. So what did I do? I shamed them into using a...
Making the Invalid Valid
I could argue I'm doing that on multiple levels these days. Except I want to talk Geometry, QGIS, and Forks in the Road. I haven't done just a "QGIS Tech Post" in a while. I talk about it and training and generalities but hardly dive into the specifics. So here is a...
Training and Things
I said this year I was going to babble up here more and I've basically not been because I tend to loose interest in whatever I'm about to say. I've got to change up my attitude on all things technical....and not technical. So the classes are starting to come out on...
