[Qgis-user] Legally use image data from online services

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Stefan, 

We are of course Swisstopo customers. But their newest images in our
area are from 2013 ;-( 

Our agricultural department is looking for newer aerial images/satellite
images from 2015 or 2016. They'd like a spatial resolution of 1m or even
smaller - if possible. 

The Pleiades satellite seems to provide fairly up-to-date and high-res
photos. 

Does someone know if MapBox or PlanetLabs provide a web service that can
be legally consumed within QGIS? It would have the advantage that they
have seamless coverage at farily high resolutions. 

I'll do more research. 

Thanks, 

Andreas

Does someone know a similar service to Google, Mapbox or ESRI ArcGIS Online that we can legally use from within QGIS - of course we are willing to pay for it.
