Two more thoughts: I, and I suspect many others, often want basemaps for a much more limited area. For 95% of what I do, a basemap that only covers Massachusetts, US, is just fine. It would be great if I could take a regional extract and produce by own file that is only 200 or so MB. I realize that's more of a comment about protomaps, and likely supported, unless there's some doctrine against it, but I wanted to inject the thought into qgis planning. I think this is mostly just "be able to point to file or URL of your choice" and everything else is bug fixes. I am unclear on how we are dealing with the required OSM attribution in qgis. I have added OSM tiles with quickosm, and the main map view lacks attribution. I did publish a pdf map of local conservation, and I was careful in the map composer to attribute OSM (required) and MassGIS (polite). I suspect at least some are not so careful. Leaflet has a default or at least more in-the-groove attribution path, and I think adding OSM to qgis should too. This is not specifically about this vs TMS, but if starting from scratch I think we should significantly try. _______________________________________________ QGIS-User mailing list QGIS-User@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
