<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Mudau<br><br></div><div>The best way to learning QGIS is tinkering it and have "Google Search" for a friend. You'll get much more there than off this mailing-list.<br><br></div><div>Now to your request. You don't necessarily reach Google Earth but you access Google satellite imagery. Like Walter Smit alluded to. To do that in QGIS find a plugin called OpenLayers<br>
(website <a href="http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/openlayers_plugin/">http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/openlayers_plugin/</a> ). QGIS functionality is extended via plugins. From there you should be able to load the said imagery.<br>
<br></div><div>Search Read Search read....you'll soon have 101 ways around your problem.<br><br></div><div>Erick<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 November 2013 11:09, TSHIFHIWA MUDAU <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vhadaudk@gmail.com" target="_blank">vhadaudk@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
