Overview
GeoCat Bridge offers a quick and easy solution to publish your data, metadata and maps from QGIS Desktop.
This GeoCat Bridge QGIS plugin is made available to GeoCat customers from the QGIS plugins server.
GeoCat Bridge 4 is a great way to experience the GeoCat GeoCat Live platform. GeoCat Live customers can immediately publish their data and metadata to their GeoCat Live instances.
GeoCat Bridge 4 is a full rewrite of GeoCat Bridge, which at the moment is only available for QGIS Desktop. It features a different approach, and, while it has the same goal and a similar interface, it differs from Bridge 3 for ArcMap in some of its capabilities.
