[Qgis-user] loading Web Map Tile Service in QGIS

[Alister Hood]

Specifically, save the xml file from "Option 1)" at:
http://earthdata.nasa.gov/wiki/main/index.php/GIBS_Supported_Clients#Script-level_access_to_imagery
Drag-and-drop it into QGIS and it will display fine.

Of course, see the note at the bottom of the page:
	"Requirements
	GDAL version 1.9.1 or greater with cURL support enabled"
