Distance measurement Tool does not work with OpenStreetMap #42

Closed sdemarge closed 4 years ago

sdemarge commented 6 years ago

I do not know if this is a problem related to the plugin of CRS management or the Distance Tool in QGIS.

Here is the scenario When I use the Distance Tool to measure a distance that I know is 10km on a map, the distance tool give me a value of 3,000 km and 16,000km Moving the cursor just a ittle causes the value to fluctuate wildly. I am using QGIS2.14 on Windows 64. I have loaded a singe layer with OpenStreetMap. The layer loads with CRS= WGS/Pseudo Mercator EPSG 3857 and is left unchanged. I set automatic "on the fly CRS trasnformation" and set the project CRS to UTM-18. I zoom into an area I know, The scale dialog says 1:100,000 and this appears correct, also when I move the cursor a distance that I know is 10km the coordinates change by 10,000m as expected. The Distance Tool and likely other features get the wrong distance.

This issue will be closed, because the qgis2 version of this plugin is not maintained anymore.
