Background data ski areas

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Stefff on December 29, 2020

I’m trying to visualise a specific ski route. The sample is taken with a gps tracker in Obergurgl & Hochgurgl, Austria. I am using QGIS for this assignment. I could insert the trace using vector lines in QGIS.

But now I want to add some background data, like streets, heights, buildings for instance. Does anyone know how to do so or where to find the appropriate data?

One Answer

You can download Open Streetmap (OSM) data in QGIS using the OSMDownloader plugin (install it with the Plugin Manager - menu: Plugins-> Manage and install plugins). You can use the QuickOSM plugin to work with OSM data.

For background maps, the following QGIS plugins can be used:

  • HCMGIS (various base maps)
  • QuickMapServices (xyz tile services)

In the Browser panel you should also find OpenStreetMap under XYZ Tiles.
