[Qgis-user] Free/Open Data Maps list

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

The Quickmap plugin is indeed full of data specially if you add the extra providers in the plugin settings.  Most importantly, it gives you an idea of who is giving what data. After that, you can find the original data (much more useful) from the provider.  I do the same thing with wms.  If you google ,for example, “wms Canada nrcan”, you will find many links to various servers providing wms layers.  After that, you can search for  the original data sources from these providers.  

It could also help if you specify the region you are working on.
Cheers!
Nicolas
