Professional multi-format coordinate capture and visualization tool for QGIS. Supports 5 coordinate systems with full navigation and plotting capabilities.
.
SUPPORTED FORMATS:
- XYZ Tiles: Web mapping tile coordinates with zoom levels (Red visualization)
- MGRS: Military Grid Reference System, Sentinel-2 compatible (Blue visualization)
- WKT: Well-Known Text geometry format (Green visualization)
- WKB: Well-Known Binary geometry as hex string (Yellow visualization)
- GeoJSON: JSON-based geometry format (Purple visualization)
.
KEY FEATURES:
- Interactive map clicking with crosshair cursor for coordinate capture
- Dual-mode operation: Click-to-capture OR manual input for all formats
- Go To button: Navigate/zoom to any coordinate system location
- Plot Polygon/Geometry button: Visualize geometries with color-coded layers
- Editable coordinate inputs (X, Y, Z for tiles; text input for others)
- Smart geometry type detection (Point, LineString, Polygon, Multi types)
- Dockable widget interface with system dropdown selector
- Seamless integration with MAS Raster Processing toolbar
- Coordinate reprojection support for different CRS
- Memory layer creation with proper attribute tables and symbology
.
QUICK START GUIDE:
1. Activate tool: Click XYZ Coordinate Tool icon or Raster menu - MAS Raster Processing - XYZ Coordinate Tool
2. Select coordinate system from dropdown (XYZ Tiles, MGRS, WKT, WKB, or GeoJSON/JSON)
3. FOR XYZ/MGRS: Click on map to capture coordinates. FOR WKT/WKB/GEOJSON: Paste or type geometry string in the input field
4. Click Go To to navigate to the location
5. Click Plot Polygon to visualize the geometry on map
6. Edit coordinates manually if needed (all inputs are editable)
.
USE CASES:
- Tile-based web mapping applications (XYZ tiles)
- Sentinel-2 satellite imagery tile identification (MGRS)
- Geometry data exchange and validation (WKT, WKB, GeoJSON)
- Coordinate reference system testing and debugging
- Geospatial data quality assurance workflows
- Educational tool for understanding different coordinate formats
.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
- XYZ tiles: Z value (zoom level) range 0-22, default 14
- MGRS: Fixed latitude band calculation with 2,000,000m cycle handling
- WKT/WKB/GeoJSON: Automatic geometry type detection and appropriate symbology
- All geometries are created in EPSG:4326 (WGS84) coordinate system
- Color-coded layers for easy identification of coordinate system source
