Hi Lene,<br>
<br>
Yes - the Google images are quite up-to-date in my region as well.
Definitely a big plus.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi,<br>
<br>
From a technical point of view it seems to work. But as Nyall
said, you are not allowed to use Google tiles directly and
print out your own layers on top of it. For that reason we
can't add any Google layers to QGIS - officially.<br>
<br>
I tried it out - for aerial images the reprojection works fine
(if one also uses bilinear/cubic/average interpolation) - but
the maps with lineart and labels look really, really ugly
after they had been reprojected.<br>
<br>
If you print out at high resolution - again the aerial images
look fine, but the higher you increase the resolution, the
thinner the road symbology gets and the roads get labeled way
too often - so not very pretty from a (carto)-graphical point
of view. I was impressed though that you can also print at
very large sizes (I tested an A0 map wirh my layers and Google
images in the backdrop - it took very long to render, but it
worked). If you use this too often, there is also the risk
that Google blocks your IP address.<br>
<br>
The Swiss OSM association offers tiles in the native Swiss
projection. This allows to print much nicer maps than with
Google maps. See
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://sosm.ch/swiss-lv95-projected-tiles/">http://sosm.ch/swiss-lv95-projected-tiles/</a>
and you can use the attached xml file to open as a raster
image. I think it would be a good idea if other national OSM
associations would offer their data in the native national
coordinate system. Something to discuss with your local OSM
gurus ...<br>
<br>
The nice thing about this tile-map GDAL provider is that you
can manipulate the raster on the fly (e.g. convert it to black
and white, make it darker or lighter, change contrast or
colors globally, etc.)<br>
