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

[Stefan Ziegler]

Hi Andi

you can "buy" orthorectified satellite images (up to 0.3m resolution) from
NPOC at swisstopo. It can be cheap if you find images from the archive. The
people at NPOC are extremely helpful. You have to host / serve the images
as WMS yourself, though.

regards
Stefan
