I work with QGis 2.18.1 in Austria and need the city boundaries of Podgorica which is located in Montenegro.   Do you know where I can get or download it for free?

I do not seem to be able to find a free shapefile of the European countries. This is the kind of map I am looking to populate with my own data using ESRI ArcGIS:   The  only seems to have a shapefile of the region with country boundaries that also includes the NUTS divisions. Natural Earth shapefiles only seem to be available for the entire world, not for regions like Europe.

I'm trying to obtain the boundaries of shapefile, thus to clean the inside as a matter of speaking. While I had expected that dissolve while get me a proper polygon, unfortunately it still has some remainders. How could I get rid of them?  Does QGIS have a tool similar to Repair Geometry?  Here's the source    Result below:

In order to do reverse geocoding lookups to find a country (as ISO-3166-1) and the subdivision (as ISO-3166-2) for given coordinates I am looking for a way to get all polygons of all countries and their subdivisions.  Reverse geocoding lookups with Google Maps or other services either do not always return the country and subdivision (Google Maps), or sometimes they are incorrect (geonames.org). As I understand it all countries and subdivisons are available in the openstreetmap data, but I do not know how to only retrieve the polygons - no map data, no points of interest or cities are necessary, only the outlines of all subdivisions with the given country and subdivision codes. Then I can check myself if a given point is within any given polygon, or near it.  Does anyone know how to retrieve this data from the openstreetmap data, or is there any other source for this data?

I'm looking for a qml file (or equivalent e.g. sld) to allow me to use QGIS to take OpenStreetMap data and produce paper maps. I'm re-asking this question (it was asked once or twice over a couple of years by other people) because I'm really surprised not to easily find such a thing already (I looked hard).   I have found  - which are good, but only style basic data like roads (and do so simply). I've successfully followed the  for getting OSM data to work with. I've carried out some basic style editing successfully. I realise I could create my own styles for this purpose - but this seems like a very big job. I want a visually pleasing map taking into account most of the data available on OSM (i.e. not just streets, but tracks, paths, rivers, woods, lakes, buildings and so on). I'd have thought that there would be other people out there already doing the same... It seems odd to have to re-invent the wheel when both OSM and QGIS are open source / open data projects. I feel like maybe I've just missed the obvious repository of OSM qml files which resides out there on the internet somewhere if you know where to look.  Additional notes in response to query below...  Ideally I'm looking for a Mapnik style rendering of the OSM data, but any equivalent properly developed and complete style would be good.  At the moment the objective is to use this data to produce paper mapping, but simple use of the mapping as base data on which other geographic data can be displayed also requires a decent rendering. At work I use Ordnance Survey data completely styled to produce a full and very detailed UK map (the point being that I didn't have to design this styling, it came with the data). I realise that other tools exist for paper mapping, but the same issues tend to arise at one stage or another... I'm more or less successful in making the tool work for me in really basic terms, but to get to something visually useful I end up back with me either needing to re-invent a complete rendering style from scratch (beyond my skill), or encountering such a complex set of requirements for database setups or whatever that the process crashes and burns before I get anywhere useful. With a few more years of GIS experience I'll maybe be a database, CartoCSS (or whatever else) wizz... but until then I'm prevented from using the amazing resource that OSM provides by this one barrier.  Update (July 2015): Please note that I'm still looking for information on this, and given that I've just been informed that the question has had 2500 views in the last year clearly others are too.

Census.gov usually makes available the shapefiles containing school zone boundaries. Due to the US government shutdown, census.gov is down. Does anyone know where to download a recently archived copy?

There is probably already a post for my problem, but after long searching, I could not find a solution for my issue.  I am working with QGIS und I am using the following projection/datum: MGI / Austria GK East (EPSG:31256) (+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=16.33333333333333 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=-5000000 +ellps=bessel +towgs84=577.326,90.129,463.919,5.137,1.474,5.297,2.4232 +units=m +no_defs)   I just want to add a layer form the openlayers plugin. For example Google satelite. the Google satelite uses the following projection/Datum:  WGS 84 / Pseudo Mercator (EPSG:3857) (+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext  +no_defs).  The Problem that I am facing with, is that I can not get the Google layer in the same projection with my other layers (EPSG:31256)! They are not overlapping correct!  Is there a way to do this?

I wanted to know more about . Is there any way I could get more data for this? Are there any more maps or charts to further identify where users are coming from across the world? How could I go about generating my own maps or charts?  Note: The original statistics and images provided with this question in 2009 are available in the .

I have no skills in GIS, "map-making," or any other map program. Been a county planner for 25 yrs, where there was always a "drafting" staff.  I'm in another agency now and need to be able to produce basic and attractive site plans and area maps.  Is QGIS the right tool? I saw on a planners' website that it's free to download, along with GIMP and SketchUP.  I need some genuine advice on this, not something impossibly technical for my situation, nor a smug brush-off.

I'm pretty new in QGIS and i'm searching a drawing tool like it is possible to find in microsoft word or excel.  I search something very user friendly (for dummies!) to add circles, arrows, lines... with no need to create a new layer!!  Can you help me?

I am using different shapefiles from open data in Switzerland. They have just updated the whole set. My question is: how to compared two layers (new and old version)? I would like to know the differences in geometry, as well as attributes. In the data there are points, lines and polygons and some of the sets contains a big amount of features (more than 300 000 elements). I have already checked all the simillar questions, but they all focus on creating the third layer with differences or particular layer example. What I want to know is just what has been changed. I am working with QGIS 2.14.3 and i am familiar with Python.

Does anyone have a simple work-flow for drawing cross sections of earth features in QGIS?   My thing is that QGIS is being used to present the plan view, but we have a little interest in some elevations as well. All the data is one set and is simply an elevation value in the attribute table, I don't want to have to move all that to CAD.  One logical workaround is to present the z value as the y.  I am a dunce in paper space in CAD, and would be more comfortable with the QGIS Composer.

I am working to covert OSM File to get all building's informations in the city.   I am using osm2pgsql package to transform the data. Now I am confused as I have 5 tables :      - planet_osm_point    - planet_osm_line    - planet_osm_roads    - planet_osm_polygon     I am confused now, how can I get buildings' informations from these tables. What do every table represent ?

I'm in need of acquiring the coordinates of the outlines of all the water bodies inside a country, with the exception of "Sea" or "Ocean" water. Right now, I'm manually outlining the lakes and rivers but it is not a sustainable solution for the magnitude of the research I'm doing.  Even if I can only obtain the data of Lakes or Rivers, that would be a great start. I'm specifically interested in the countries of Malaysia, Brazil and the Dominican Republic.  My situation brings me to the question of, where does google obtain its data and are they available?

Since QGIS uses GDAL, does any map exported as a PDF become a Geospatial PDF? I am hoping to import maps from QGIS into the Avenza PDF Map app on my phone. Previous posts mentioned exporting as Geospatial PDF's and GeoTiff's, but none had an exact answer or process.

I spent days looking in all questions here and trying tutorials. I need to build a graph for a region (It will be my input in simulation) I downloaded Postgresql and Postgis and osm2pgsql. Now i can load .osm files into a database. I want to have a complete database with roads ids so i can generate a table of edges and nodes then build my graph  nodes = intersections and edges = roads for a city using python.  Please any detailed help with steps.I saw a lot of keywords (Postgresql/postgis, Networkx, QGIS ..) but i couldn't manage to assemble a good tutorial  I am a very beginner.

I exported my QGIS project with the qgis2web plugin as OL3.  Can I embed this folder to a wordpress homepage or can I import it to google maps and add this to WordPress?

Is there any plugin for QGIS which would help me in exporting the map document as a geospatial PDF (similar to Terrago's GeoPDF)?
