DARE tiles in QGIS.md
  • Install the Tile Layer Plugin
  • The tile layer plugin needs to be configured with tile sources. Configuration works via tab-separated-value (.tsv) files. Locate the plugin's default .tsv directory. This depends on you platform, but will ususally be some place like:
.qgis2/python/plugins/TileLayerPlugin/layers/

C:\Users\rsimon\.qgis2/pyhton/plugins/TileLayerPlugin/layers
  • Add a file called dare.tsv with the following content. (Note: separators are tabs!)
DARE	http://pelagios.org/tilesets/imperium/{z}/{x}/{y}.png	1	3	11

  • Add the DARE layer via Web > TileLayerPlugin > Add Tile Layer.

  • Be sure to change the projection to EPSG 3857 ("WGS84 / Pseudo Mercator" in QGIS)

  • BUT still import data from our CSVs as EPSG:4326!
