Hi, More than likely the answer is yes. The google imagery is tiled and designed to be viewed at particular scales (zooms). If you're overlaying data at a different scale to one of the predefined scales then the overlay won't happen correctly. So, it's how the data is packaged by google, rather than the plugin itself. It is annoying, but given the imagery is at no monetary cost, I can live with this, If you search through this mailing list, and other places there's quite a bit of information in other threads on this topic for example: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2012-February/015579.html -ramon. PS. This is (mostly) unrelated to your question. What does your google imagery look like when it first loads up? Does it load just what you need or the whole world several times over? _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
