Can anyone tell me the steps to display my village map (as a tif/tfw pair of files) over an OSM raster layer (from the OpenLayers plugin) in QGIS? Because every time I try my village ends up in the middle of the ocean south of Lagos!
I know that questions like this have been asked before, and I have looked at several answers and tried to follow what they said, but so far without success. I have looked at the documentation. I understand from EPSG 3857 or 4326 for GoogleMaps, OpenStreetMap and Leaflet there are complications. One of the articles I have tried to follow (also unsuccessfully) is at http://maps.cga.harvard.edu/qgis/wkshop/basemap.php.
The tfw file is:
0.6351247107
0.0000000000
0.0000000000
-0.6350766811
532808.8175623553
273200.4324616595
I have tried combinations of:
- loading the tif file with CRS EPSG:4326 and EPSG:3857
- switching on and off 'on the fly' CRS transformation
- changing the project CRS to EPSG:4326 and EPSG:3857
- warp (reprojecting) my village file with source CRS EPSG:3857 and target CRS EPSG:4326, and then using the resulting tif file
- switching between degrees and metres
I am usually good at following instructions, but this has me beaten. I thought I understood a little about about projections, but the more I read and what I try does not work, the more I am confused.
What are the steps I should take?
