I wonder if it is possible to load German NAS-Data into QGIS or to convert them to Shapefiles. I'm using QGIS 1.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.

NAS is the new Geodata-format, based on ALKIS-Data: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normbasierte_Austauschschnittstelle

I installed the current Master on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine today and typed "ogr2org --formats" but NAS didn't appear on the list.

If I check my ogr-version it says 1.7.3 - as I understood NAS is supported from 1.8.0 onwards.

Did you do anything special to install that version?

    It would be very helpful if you could explain, what NAS stands for in your use case: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAS

    Could you try running "ogr2ogr --formats" (without the quotes)? Here, in Ubuntu 12.04 QGIS Master, NAS appears in the list as a supported format. N.

    yes it does gdal.org/ogr/drv_nas.html Aug 16, 2012 at 21:14
  • No, I didn't do anything special. But I'm in Ubuntu and perhaps you're in Windows? For some reason the development versions of QGIS appear to come with older versions of GDAL/OGR than the current stable versions of QGIS. In Ubuntu my version of Master came with GDAL/OGR 1.8.

  • Nope, standalone Qgis 1.8.0 on Windows 7 running here with GDAL 1.9.1, and NAS included. BTW, the format list is NOT alphabetical. Anyway, the asker is on Ubuntu 12.04.
