Hi,<br>
<br>
From a technical point of view it seems to work. But as Nyall said,
you are not allowed to use Google tiles directly and print out your
own layers on top of it. For that reason we can't add any Google
layers to QGIS - officially.<br>
<br>
I tried it out - for aerial images the reprojection works fine (if
one also uses bilinear/cubic/average interpolation) - but the maps
with lineart and labels look really, really ugly after they had been
reprojected.<br>
<br>
If you print out at high resolution - again the aerial images look
fine, but the higher you increase the resolution, the thinner the
road symbology gets and the roads get labeled way too often - so not
very pretty from a (carto)-graphical point of view. I was impressed
though that you can also print at very large sizes (I tested an A0
map wirh my layers and Google images in the backdrop - it took very
long to render, but it worked). If you use this too often, there is
also the risk that Google blocks your IP address.<br>
<br>
The Swiss OSM association offers tiles in the native Swiss
projection. This allows to print much nicer maps than with Google
maps. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sosm.ch/swiss-lv95-projected-tiles/">http://sosm.ch/swiss-lv95-projected-tiles/</a> and you can use
the attached xml file to open as a raster image. I think it would be
a good idea if other national OSM associations would offer their
data in the native national coordinate system. Something to discuss
with your local OSM gurus ...<br>
<br>
The nice thing about this tile-map GDAL provider is that you can
manipulate the raster on the fly (e.g. convert it to black and
white, make it darker or lighter, change contrast or colors
globally, etc.)<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Just got a small Christmas present from my husband. 6 XML files :-)
Containing Google and Streetview. And then you might say 'Yeah we already got that in OpenLayer Plugin' - Correct. But when I use OpenLayer, the vector layers always fly around and calculations mess up.
So now I got the XML files.
Renamed to Zip and Unzipped the files. Open as Raster.
They are now changed in the 'On The Fly' - in any CRS I want.
Now I´m looking forward to my real Christmas Present - Hope Bo read this mail so he don´t forget ;-)
Regards
Lene Fischer
