LatLon Tools

Lat Lon Tools plugin makes it easy to capture, zoom to coordinates, and interact with other on-line mapping tools.

This plugin seems simple, but it adds a lot of functionality to QGIS! It can save time when you want to add a single point to the map - instead of having to load it in as a layer, you can simply use the LatLon Tools to add it by the coordinates.

If you add data through this tool you will have to save it as a vector file to keep it!

The plugin has the following tools:

  • Capture/Display coordinates to the clipboard (in any projection) when the user clicks on the map.

  • Capture the bounding box of the map canvas.

  • Zoom to and highlight a point on the map using coordinates from any projection, and can format the coordinates in decimal degrees (DD) and degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS).

  • Add points to a layer by coordinate.

  • Coordinate conversions
