Hello,
Matt Boyd claviota:
Hi fellow QGIS users,
I'm aware people often ask about using google earth data in qgis and
while essentially that's what I need to do, I'm not prepared to do it
by breaking any TOS or EULA.
I use the "Google Layers" qgis extension, which works quite well. It
seems that it complies with Google Maps licenses, according to what the
extension's dialog box says:
"
Use of the Google Map Service is subject to a query limit of 1000
unique (different)
image requests per viewer per day.
Google projection
Your QGIS project should be configured to use Google Projection
(EPSG: 900913).
Google projection Proj4 definition:
+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgri...@null +no_defs
Use 'on the fly' CRS transformation to overlay vector data in other
projection.
Sample data
Sample data of Europe in Google projection is located in shp
directory of this
plugin (usually .qgis/python/plugins/GoogleLayers/shp). Use it for
better orientation.

My question is : does the digitalglobe imageconnect wms product
provide something where the imagery is at least as good as google
earths and/or is anyone aware of a licensing scheme that provides a
wms like service for imagery of that detail across the globe.
As Georges Marchais (more or less) said: "it may not be your question,
but this is my answer"...
A+
Pierre
