Hi Borys Thanks a lot for the hint with google maps. It works like a charm!

The two plugins make two different workarounds to use them. OpenLayers Plugin is great for display, however I expect big problems with proper printing, so wouldn't be optimistic... I wonder if it's possible to use GoogleMaps in Qgis directly via GDAL TMS driver. I'm able to open it, but can't cope with colors: Google serves 8bit pngs, while Qgis needs RGB. Maybe other gdal versions do it more smoothly? On the http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html you have a link to the OpenStreetMap TMS Service Example: http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms_openstreetmap_tms.xml Just download this file and open in Qgis as a raster. You shold see OSM layer with proper or bad colors ;) In order to use googlemaps instead of OSM, replace the third line of the file with: <ServerUrl>http://mt0.googleapis.com/vt?lyrs=m@144&x=${x}&y=${y} &z=${z}</ServerUrl> _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
