## QGIS

QGIS is a free and open-source geographic information system software for desktops. It's available [here](https://qgis.org/).

Once the software is installed open QGIS Desktop.

![View Menu](img/QGIS/SparkFun%20RTK%20QGIS%20-%20View%20Menu.png)

Open the View Menu, then look for the 'Panels' submenu.

![Panels submenu](img/QGIS/SparkFun%20RTK%20QGIS%20-%20Enable%20GPS%20Info%20Panel.png)

From the Panels submenu, enable 'GPS Information'. This will show a new panel on the left side.

At this point, you will need to enable *TCP Server* mode on your RTK device from the [WiFi Config menu](menu_wifi.md). Once the RTK device is connected to local WiFi QGIS will be able to connect to the given IP address and TCP port.

![Select GPSD](img/QGIS/SparkFun%20RTK%20QGIS%20-%20GPS%20Panel.png)

Above: From the subpanel, select 'gpsd'.

![Entering gpsd specifics](img/QGIS/SparkFun%20RTK%20QGIS%20-%20GPS%20Panel%20Entering%20IP%20and%20port.png)

Enter the IP address of your RTK device. This can be found by opening a serial connection to the device. The IP address will be displayed every few seconds. Enter the TCP port to use. By default an RTK device uses 2947.

Press 'Connect'.

![Viewing location in QGIS](img/QGIS/SparkFun%20RTK%20QGIS%20-%20Location%20on%20Map.png)

The device location will be shown on the map. To see a map, be sure to enable OpenStreetMap under the XYZ Tiles on the Browser.

![Connecting over Serial](img/QGIS/SparkFun%20RTK%20QGIS%20-%20Direct%20Serial%20Connection.png)

Alternatively, a direct serial connection to the RTK device can be obtained. Use a USB cable to connect to the 'CONFIG UBLOX' port on RTK Surveyor/Express/Plus and the single USB C port on the RTK Facet/L-Band. Be sure you have the u-blox driver installed. Then select the appropriate COM port for the u-blox module. See [Configure with Serial](configure_with_serial.md) for more information.
