<div>If anyone out there is a qGIS user or dabbler, I've forked the openlayers plugin that allows Google / Yahoo / OSM to be used as a backdrop layer.</div><div><br></div><div>For those of you that don't know, Nearmap is a source of recently acquired high resolution Australian imagery with lax licensing requirements. My changes to the openlayers plugin include the ability to use Nearmap.com's growing imagery source as a backdrop layer within qGIS.</div>
