Here is my question:
1- Based on a long distance segment ( approx 2000 km) drawn on Google Earth and imported as shapefile in QGIS I want to obtain a terrain profile based on "Terrain Profile" plugin.
2- The problem is that my great circle segment drawn in Google Earth is not going over the same terrain in QGIS. This can be seen clearly using the Google earth layer in QGIS:
Google Earth:
QGIS:
3- The difference is approx 45 km between the 2 lines and the projection of my raster is WGS84 (EPGS:4326). I tried to change my raster projection to 900913 (Google Mercator) but this doesn't work either.
Can you please let me know if there are any way to make my very long google earth segment coincide in QGIS ?
Many thanks in advance
