<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Alister: I got the Google map up and was able to translate the Tiger Roads layer to the Google Mercater ?? CRS and it works very well. However I have tried to translate the other layers to the same format
and nothing works. Seems silly. I have gone back to the original files and the Tiger water layer will not translate correctly. I had this problem before and eventually got it correct but it seems like after doing one translation QGIS doesn't feel like doing
another. At least in the same session. I have shut down the application and restarted but still no good.
<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">> Thanks for the quick reply, Alister! Are you saying that I can through the openlayers plugin, that I can directly see the Google Earth (free version) > images as a background
for my selected area? If so I will try it. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Yes, it just opens a connection to the Google earth data as a new layer. It doesn’t require the Google earth software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I don’t know if there even is a distinction between the quality of the images you _see_ with the free vs professional Google earth editions. Isn’t it just the quality of the images
you can _<i>save</i>_?<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">It doesn’t provide any mechanism for searching for a location – you need another layer to search in or zoom to, or you can paste coordinates, or zoom in from viewing the whole world<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">> You can directly connect QGIS to the Google (or Bing or Yahoo) satellite layer using the openlayers plugin.<br>
><br>
> But Google doesn't own the imagery, and even if you get Google Earth Pro you aren't actually allowed to use the imagery to create "derivative works". Exactly how far the permitted use extends will depend on what you are using it for and the law in your country,
but my understanding is that it is typically about as far as using it to display the location of your organisation or event in advertising material.<br>
> I have seen rumours that you are allowed to do more with the Yahoo imagery, but when I looked I don't think I could even find any information about its licensing.<br>
