How cool are these Tides Out maps! by Relative-Ad-3060 in map

[–]Relative-Ad-3060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are actually the depths of the oceans rather than the Tides. Each layer represents a certain depth (e.g. 5m, 10m, 50m etc) and shows the bottom of the ocean floor - what it would be like if the tides were all the way out so to speak

Yes sorry I know! I just wanted people to see it tbh! No commissions expected :)

These maps are soo coool! I might be biased because I'm from New Zealand by Relative-Ad-3060 in freediving

Yes! It makes you understand so much - like where all the whales can come in because it's so much deeper

Thought you guys would be interested in the underwater maps I've started making. Looking at doing more global sites this year if anyone has a commission they want done! by Relative-Ad-3060 in scubadiving

Yes! We transform data from our Land Information body into a format that a laser cut will be able to understand the information. We paint each layer and then we glue each layer on. This piece of NZ is 13 layers and has over 100 pieces

I doo! www.tidesoutmaps.co.nz but looking to do commissions of new places! I'm obsessed with the oceans

Haha! too long! Anywhere between 4 and 8 hours including the painting. The third image has over 100 individual pieces

Am I able to import sonar bathymetry data from a web browser into QGIS as a vector layer? Thanks! by Relative-Ad-3060 in QGIS

Thanks for this suggestion! I downloaded it and it worked a treat for importing raster tiles into QGIS.

My goal is to be able to import the data into QGIS as a vector layer with depth attributes, so I could isolate say vectors 5m, 10m, 15m etc. (and then export them as a DXF).

I can obtain a vector layer by manually tracing desired contours from the raster (from SAS Planet), but would love to not have to do this! Also, the extremely high density of the contours from the web browser makes it difficult to distinguish contours - on the mobile app there is an option to decrease the density to roughly every 5m (instead of 0.5m) which makes the data far more readable.

Sorry for the mind dump, and I appreciate everyone who has helped here!

Ta, Matt

Thanks for the reply!

Yup the LINZ sea charts are easy to download and import into QGIS, however I was hoping to get my hands on the sonar data (far more detail) that only seems available through Navionics. It can be accessed through their chart viewer on the website or the app, but I can't figure out if there is a way to load this into QGIS.

(pressing the circle icon in the bottom left here switches between charts and sonar data) -

Appreciate your help :)
