[Qgis-user] Projection like Google Earth?

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
Google Earth Pro is now free.  I think the pro version permits the geolocalisation of higher definition rasters then Google Earth non-pro edition. Perhaps that could help? 
You can also try the qgis2treejs plugin.  It's not what you are looking for but it does create high quality 2.5D terrain models that can be easily manipulated in a browser. 
Cheers!

	Not a solution but a related interesting way to think of it.

I realize now that, for creating a map that you can pan and tilt around endlessly, as you can in Google earth, one would have to adapt the projection wit every pan/tilt of the map. Maybe some day, when I am older and wiser, I’ll find a solution in a script/plugin.
