[Qgis-user] Google map images better on iDevice that in Qgis?

2021-04-15 Thread Steve Research
Hi,
I am trying to use Google ‘satellite view’ to give me a photo image in my maps. 
The resolution in Qgis (or a PC browser) is much less clear than in the g 
Google Maps app on an iPhone. Does anyone know how to get the same hi res 
imaging as I see on my iPad?

Are you using the XYZ Tiles for Google Earth image loading?

If so, that is also what I have been using and you can set the minimum and 
maximum zoom level.  In order to get exported maps to look OK I set the minimum 
to 18 and maximum to 19.  Based on what I gather from reading other people's 
suggestions I think adjusting the dpi for the output image changes what tiles 
are loaded in.  But you can force it to use just one zoom level of tiles.  I 
export everything at 300 dpi to use just to make sure things look OK for color 
printing and PDFs exported from report files.

This is the URL I have entered for Google Satellite as an XYZ Connection:

http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}

Just looking at the other settings now I see there are 2 options for the Tile 
Resolution: 256x256/96 dpi and 512x512/192 dpi  (so I might play with those 
sometime to see what changes)

I still always have to go to Google Earth to compare and see exactly what month 
and year the tiles are coming from.

I am using Web>OpenLayers Plugin>Google Maps to deliver the data and can’t see 
anything there so set these details.

I will follow these links to see what that looks like.
