Some GIS Tips and Tricks Series #1

1.)??? GIS Data Sharing :

GIS data by exporting it can be risky. (Note that this trick is commonly used in coordinate-based work.) Continuously sharing data among the employees in your project can inadvertently lead to virus transmission and problems for all team members. Therefore, when working with coordinate-based projects, you can copy your attribute table directly and paste it into Google Sheets in WKT format. To do this, make sure you are on the layer you want to select the areas from and that editing is enabled through the "Toggle Editing" feature. Use "Select Features" to choose the necessary areas, and then paste your WKT directly into your Google Sheets to protect yourself from potential virus transmissions.

1.2) Simplify Tools:

If you have a large number of points in the areas you are working with, Google Sheets may not accept it. If I remember correctly, it does not support anything beyond 5000 characters. Therefore, in the necessary areas, you can use the "Geometry Tools" >> "Simplify" tool. Attached are the settings I typically use for Simplify. Note that the value I mentioned for "simplify" (0.005) may vary; I usually use these values.
