Making GIS Map using Google Earth Pro and QGIS

so hello friends hello viewers so today this tutorial is on the map making in QGIS from Google Earth Pro without having much much expertise in GIS you can create basic maps using Google Earth Pro and QGIS remember you need Google Earth Pro for this exercise and also you need QGIS UGS is the open source platform which you can download from two GIS software sorry website so you can download the software by clicking at download now and if you want to donate something you can definitely go to support qg s and donate your support and from Google Earth website you can download Google Earth Google Earth Pro on desktop so let me launch the Google Earth fro so this is my Google Earth Pro on full-screen view it looks like this now again let me open QGIS so as qzs takes a little time to load I have already pre opened the software so this is qgi software will go to Google Earth Pro here you can see the map so here is India and here is a Saab so let me first this select my places so that you don't see anything of my own sightings now let us make a map from Google Earth Pro let us take me girlier as an example or maybe some smaller area in near to makalah in in assam we can take some smaller area let us take suppose Guwahati here you can see this is the Guate area so if you want to make map from this area you can create polygons from here and you can start drawing your polygon like this so this is always better if you have a property market an area that you can load to you sorry Google Earth Pro and you can have a KML file out of it so suppose we have a polygon right now so you can see style color here we put the color as sorry we put it as outline and color of the line as weight so you can use the width so let us name it taste polygon okay so we have already created this polygon so likewise you can keep creating different polygons like this forested area your for more accurate Maps you can zoom into the map Google Earth Pro and you can make the boundary like that so let us name it as a forested area okay let me create it like that then you can again free let a jewel into the poor bill is one of the important wetlands and Aram suicide from Assam India so it's just a basic outline when you need it for your work you zoom more into higher resolution then you can make them a problem outline of this wetland so okay so now we have created the 4-pin let us name it deep for bill so okay so you can we have another like you can see this hills out here you can name them as you want like suburban areas or maybe forested areas you can name them as you want so forest area three okay so we have created these polygons so what we can do that we can make a folder here here taste okay so select only this folder and move it to my places okay it's now in my places you can select his taste pollutant there's all this sorry all these polygons you you can select them and you can go to your taste for look now it is in the taste folder and if you want to create more more of some polygons from the forest area you can create it like this so it is always better if you are using a laptop it is always better to use the mouse so for area three okay so do the same name let me rename it to forest area for the video before okay so now we can save this test for low save my places as and in the desktop let us create a folder called test okay so unless remember if you want to open your files in some GIS platform you need to save it in kml not kmidgette so the difference basic difference I want to tell you that game jade is the cheap format of kml so when you suppose a kml file is a very large size you want to reduce the size and you want to mail it to someone who can convert it to game jet the person on receive of your came and came jet file he can convert it to kml file in the google earth when the file size actually increases and then load the came infinite to some image processing software so let us say within kml name is taste okay now our taste file has been saved which we can see it here you can see this is not a spy so let us open QGIS so there are several ways to load a layer you can go to vector and then you can sorry layer you can write eight layer you can get from there add vector layer or you can simply meaning minimize it then from directly from the folder you can drag it to queue yes and you can open it like this so they remember the polygons we made and the colors it's coming it's just basic colors it's showing up so now you can see like there's all these layers are marched together right in a single layer so it will become little complex for us to edit the layers afterwards so what we can do in our Google Earth Pro we can save all these places separately saying one then thing too and don't forget to name them the original way like this is the poor bill you can save is the poor bill it's better or list so let us save them again yesterday's polygons or yesterday's polygons then we have forested area so then we already have saved the probable then forest area for the stadium okay so we're just riding again from this hold up this where our files so we select them then we can drag them to q GS and load them now you can see all of them are not of same color so like here now we get them first and foremost thing you should do after loading to KML that save all this file as shape file that is sncl2 work in GIS so Chris GI software's read two type of files that you know better basics of GIS that raster file and shapefile so these are shape files so these actually vector files so we ship from export we saved them you can see format so here changed the format change it to a size shape file then you name the file select the folder so folder name was test so here we name them as shapefile otherwise it will become confusing right so you selected it now we name them as forest area right okay see have option it's a file last map so you can uncheck it otherwise it will make confusing it will become confusing so type okay your shape file was created then again export save feature says then you write forest ats-v so this was for a stereo for we name them as four then uncheck them so that you don't make confusions then we have forest area tree then uncheck it done you can export its deep organ then you okay okay as you can see I forgot to uncheck the load option so it got loaded here so sometimes to name of the same layer like two files sometimes cause confusion let us remove it for now then we have something called test just ladies non-secret and say so all of our layers squats safe so we can select all of them by dragging and remove it fine so we have this poor local shape right so you can sort them by a group let's type so all the supplies will be together you can see this HP pipe so you can select them and again load them to give yes yes they're here now so actually why this conversion is needed because in the KML file you won't be able to edit it but when it is a shapefile you can edit it so you can see this pencil button here you can edit from there so let us not edit now so we will make a different video for editing options so we can go to properties to change the color okay right click go to properties then you get a lot of options here informations levels in biology will go to symbology so you can see this color so you can fill this color like forested areas will give the same color may be green okay and then we don't need a stroke color so stroke color is the boundary so we'll mark the transparent then we could apply so you can see there is no any boundary over here then this is also forested area we can select and remember when you drop down like this you will find some standard colors than transparent stroke you can change even the style it will look see you can see it here if you want to change sample pin Winston stop : let's talk mine nope in okay so again here also we can change the style updating simple field then you can change it to dance like that and we don't need not apply okay for this also we can do the same thing propene okay you can change the dance why you're transferring stroke no pain okay we have deep open you know the poor kid with a weapon so we give a cut over time and just make it look more dense okay so there's nothing to follow don't need color don't want stroke then apply okay now we had that issue so let us remove the fall of it because it's it's a entire area and also if you want to give some page color like maybe brown or something like that apply that you can always reduce the opacity from here the deploy okay so you can see that we have a basic map in here you can even you can remove this boundaries like and go to simple theory okay so I'll show you the how to remove this boundaries in my next video from here you can what you can do if you want to save your map you can go to project then you can see your layout manager okay layout okay so you have now the map layout here you can add your map which is their existing okay so by clicking add map just pull it map is here from here you can add can add the skills then you can add legions it's a tribute table came so you can remove it and from there we can add television you can change the name names in religions okay it is always better if you keep the names yes correct as India while making the back but from here also you can change the map names like going here you can see like this forested area for that you can you want to change garb hunger or something like that it's got changed here you can change it here you don't think you have to change it from the item properties then if you want to give some title you can give it here so you can change the properties here taste so you can change whatever you want want you can change from you know maybe we're going to create like that in align central middle then you can change the font color then yes the size of the fonts okay sorry you can okay you can change everything madam properties here want you change the size here okay so followed you can change it to black so you can change of everything and this is always a trial and error way you can learn you can increase the size more so we have a taste map that has been generated so you can enlarge it and then you can export it to you can export it to PDF here you can export the video than jpz that's what is the image okay so suppose we have a folder called taste you can save map test or this map you can change the from a lot of formats at a that is easy for me no it's asking for a resolution so let us save it and in makes upcoming videos I will also explain how to add the grids here how to add the geo coordinates to the map so for this video till now it's about all about simply making a map from using KML files in Google Earth Pro and QGIS that's all for today and thank you let's people closing the video let us take the generated map okay let's see you can take it well it's not bad the first trial it's not a bad month so QGIS is a free portal you can free software it can use it explore it and you can make make different maps out of it okay so that's all for today thank you thanks for watching
