To me it was always a plugin<br /> that received a lot of applause - but the one that would cause the<br /> most questions ("why can't I use this imagery in map composer").<br /> While I liked having access to google/bing imagery - it always made<br /> me more uncomfortable having it there because of the terms of service.<br /> <br /> I didn't know that QuickMapServices was a plugin - and after looking<br /> at it I think most people will have a problem because there is no <br /> google/bing imagery in that one. In the US I have enough choices for <br /> imagery - and that might not be the case everywhere else. I'm unsure<br />
