Options
#
Add Statistics
Print an additional page that contains statistics for any active vector layer. Pozi will generate statistics based on the any number fields for any features within the map bounds.
#
Save Map
The current Pozi map view can be exported to an image file on your device. Go to the Tools
panel in Pozi and select Print\Save
.
When selected, the option to Save map as image
will save the map as a PNG, and will expose the option to save a corresponding world file
If this button is pushed a .PNGW file will also be downloaded that contains georeference information about the image.
The image and the world file will have the same name but different extensions. So if the image file is "Bendigo Community Compass 20240906073714.png", the world file created will be called "Bendigo Community Compass 20240906073714.pngw".

Adding a Georeferenced Image to QGIS
Start QGIS.
Select Layer
-> Add Layer
-> Add Raster Layer..
to open the following dialog:
Navigate to the downloaded PNG file, and then click the Add
button. Then click the Close
button
You might see a warning message that the CRS for the image is undefined, if you have QGIS set to Prompt for CRS
(see below).
In any case the world file (.PNGW file) will be applied to the image as long as it is in the same directory as the PNG file.
To correctly project the image the new layers projection should be set to EPSG:3857. This can either be done when prompted, or by clicking on the question mark next to the layer in the Layer Panel
. Depending on any other layers that are currently open in QGIS, it may correctly guess the projection without requiring the CRS to be set.
In the dialog box that presents, filtering to 3857
will limit the list to the relevant projection. Then select WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator
in the highlighted box and push the OK
button.
Depending on the project based CRS that is currently defined, the image may disappear from view and/or appear distorted once the layer CRS has been set. In order to remove distortion set the project based CRS to WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator
by clicking on the EPSG
setting in the bottom-right corner of the screen. If the image is still out of view the Zoom to Layer
or Previous Zoom
functionality of QGIS can be used to zoom to the correct location.
