if you get your own imagery you can easily install a wms server on your machine and connect to it with qgis. if landsat resolution is enough for you, you may want to have a look at this tutorial http://www.gaia-gis.it/rasterlite2/Landsat-HowTo.pdf cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
