Exercise: Explore WMS and WFS layers in QGIS#

Load the average daily traffic (DTV) layer 2019 from Umweltatlas Berlin into QGIS as WFS and WMS. You can find it in Geoportal Berlin.

  1. Search for “Verkehrsmengen DTV 2019 (Umweltatlas)” and click on WMS.

  1. Copy the GetCapabilities URL.

  2. In QGIS, add a new connection under “WMS/WMTS”. Paste the URL, give it any name you want and click “OK”. Now you should be able to drag and drop the layer onto your map canvas.

  3. Repeat the same steps for WFS.

  • What differences do you notice between WMS and WFS?

  • Which road has the highest average daily traffic?
