[QGIS-uk-user] Using Google Earth Imagery in QGIS 2.14

Hi Max,

Could you attach a screenshot of the warning message? I would be surprised
if the functionality was being taken away since QGIS2.14 is no longer
supported or being worked on. As a follow on from that I'd recommend
upgrading to QGIS 3.4 which is the new LTR.

Finally if it's an issue with the google imagery ( though this is working
fine for me) you can use a different satellite provider this post
<https://opengislab.com/blog/2018/4/15/add-basemaps-in-qgis-30> describes
how to add more than you could ever need with this script

.
