Export data

To accommodate instances where you will want to export data from Queensland Globe for use in other applications.

  • Places added via the drawing, coordinate or identify tools can be downloaded to SHP (Exports a compressed ZIP folder containing all shapefile and auxiliary files), KML, JSON or CSV.
  • Results returned using the identify tool can also be exported without having to add them as places first.
  • Results returned after performing a query (Query using this place or Query layer attributes) can be exported.
  • Offline places can be exported once added to an online map.
  • Georeferenced imagery can be downloaded, a compressed ZIP folder containing the image (JPG or PNG) and the associated world file is exported.
  • The count of features returned from performing a query or using the identify tool can be downloaded to CSV.

Download limits

The following conditions must be met when downloading to a SHP, KML, JSON or CSV

  • Maximum feature count is 1000
  • The downloaded file must not exceed 10MB
  • Maximum count of vertices is 50,000

Land valuation layer limits

Due to the sensitive nature of the land valuation data the download file is limited to a feature count of 20, this does change the behaviour of the Qld Globe Places, download and in viewing Attributes, the example below will illustrate this.

In this example we are selecting a block of properties in Cairns
