[Qgis-user] offline googlemaps (or the like) images

[Vincent Schut]

  Hi,

I'm going to do some fieldwork in some pretty remote places, and I'd 
like to use qgis (combined with the qgismapper plugin to match my gps 
and photo's). What I'd really like to have, is some highres background 
imagery, like the satellite layer from googlemaps. Anyone knows of a 
way/tool to fetch a predifined area of this (or another service which 
provides highres background imagery) as a georeferenced image, so I can 
use it offline as a background layer while gps-wardriving the swamps of 
Borneo?

Thanks for any tips!

Vincent.
