Heading slightly off-topic here, but have you tried GeoSeer -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.geoseer.net">https://www.geoseer.net</a> ? - It's a spatial search engine for OGC
web-services, from local to global. For basemaps I'd probably
suggest including "wmts" in the search - there are slightly over
10,000 WMTS layers indexed there - and a third of a million WMS
layers.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Agreed. This is not appropriate language. Thanks for addressing
this, Nyall and Tim!</p>
<p>However, he is probably not the only user struggling with
getting a base map. The larger our user base is, the more likely
we will get such issues, esp. from people new to GIS or who only
use GIS very occasionally.</p>
<p>Maybe we could address this by utilizing our start screen?</p>
<p>E.g. have a small sample project with base maps available from
the start screen? Or a link to web resources where one could get
global GIS data, such as Natural Earth data or <a

<div>100% good with your reply. Rudeness aside, I wonder if
there is an issue with downloading and using the sample data?
Its been ages since I actually checked the sample data
download options in the windows installer....</div>

<div>Thanks Nyall</div>

<div>Hi PSC,<br>
<br>
This report was recently filed on the bug tracker:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18340"
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18340</a><br>
<br>
I closed it, because I don't believe that ANYONE who
uses aggressive<br>
language like this within the community deserves us to
donate our time<br>
to assist them (also... because the bug is just
missing 3rd party<br>
plugins in 3.0. But that's beside the point).<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if we could formally adopt a policy on
hub of "no rude,<br>
abusive or aggresive language will be tolerated and
tickets exhibiting<br>
these will be immediately closed regardless of their
validity"? I<br>
can't see ANY reason why we should have to accept this
type of<br>
behavior within the community.<br>
<br>
(It's possible there's already a policy somewhere
covering this -- in<br>
which case please disregard this request!)<br>
<br>
Nyall<br>
