After doing more testing and investigation I have determined that the problem
lies somewhere in my corporate (government) IT environment. When I connect the
same computer to the internet through a FORTIGATE box that is "tunnelling"
through and ignoring proxy rules, etc. then it displays the layers fine.
Incidentally the Bing satellite layer in Winnipeg looks really nice, but the
Google satellite layer isn't too shabby either.
Would the author of the OpenLayers plugin be possibly able to shed some light
on what in the IT environment might be preventing this plugin from working
properly?
Thanks,
Bob Bruce

Subject: [Qgis-user] Problem Displaying Google Satellite Layer in QGIS 1.7.4
Using OpenLayer Plugin 0.93 on Windows 7
When I try and add a google satellite layer to my project, I get a python error
and traceback as follows:
An error has occured while executing Python code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"C:/Users/bbruce/.qgis/python/plugins\openlayers\openlayers_layer.py", line
109, in draw
self.render(rendererContext)
File
"C:/Users/bbruce/.qgis/python/plugins\openlayers\openlayers_layer.py", line
164, in render
olWidth = rendererContext.extent().width() / olRes
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'olRes' referenced before
assignment
Python version:
2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
QGIS version:
1.7.4-Wroclaw Wroclaw, 411aff6 After I close this window, a QGIS
error window appears with the message: "Could not draw Google Satellite
because:" with no other text in it.
I have one vector layer displayed, this has a CRS of 26914 (NAD83 UTM Zone 14),
my project has a CRS of 3857 (from reading list postings this seemed to be the
appropriate CRS to use) and I have "On the fly reprojection" enabled. \
I can see my vector layer OK but not the google satellite layer. I have
verified that QGIS is communicating with the WWW by connecting to an external
WMS server.
Can someone help me to get google satellite imagery working, please.
