#QUICKMAP SERVICES PLUGIN QGIS MANUAL#

So I installed QMS in QGIS 2.18.16 but when try to use by clicking “Get contributed pack” under QMS Settings/More services, I get an error message that says “Error on getting contrib pack: 3”. Hi, I’m a new QGIS user and just discovered this plugin that I was hoping to use in creating shapefiles.

Pull-requests are welcome at Github.ĭetailed manual for QuickMapServices is also available. We will be grateful for feedback, links to services that can be openly used, etc. We plan to extend the list of services that can be plugged via QuickMapServices and add new functionality: better work with scales, more data sources, support for native user forms for adding services on the map etc. We’ve just started and implemented only basic functionality.

We didn’t limit ourselves by one type of service: you can add almost all kinds of basemaps: XYZ tiles, TMS, WMS, WMTS, ESRI ArcGIS Services.

Is easily extendable by adding simple ini files.

Uses tile access implementation with aliasing on non-standard zoom level (like TileLayer Plugin, but this plugin can’t add basemaps in one click).

Doesn’t have problems with scaling labels on non-standard zoom levels (unlike Tile Map Scale Plugin, which uses universal GDAL driver that leads to problems with visualization and printing on non-standard zoom levels in QGIS).Includes continuously updated list of services that you can add to the project in one click (as OpenLayers Plugin, but the latter uses webkit approach to add tiles which is not optimal).Welcome QuickMapServices – a plugin that makes work with web-based basemaps easy. This is not convenient, as you need to remember all these addresses and takes time to create those files.Įxisting plugins offer some of the needed functionality, but after studying, we felt that there is a niche for a new plugin which will combine the best features. It is possible to access XYZ tiles through WMS Driver by writing a special XML file understandable by GDAL. WMS and WMTS protocols are implemented in the core. QGIS, for example, has its own providers and 3rd-party plugins to access those services.

Latest QuickMapServices news: dedicated website, search, API, more client softwareĭesktop GIS have different tools for adding basemaps. Basemaps are often presented through various webservices: TMS, WMS, WMTS, ESRI ArcGIS Services or simply as XYZ tiles. Basemap is often the first layer added at the start of a GIS project.
