Can you explain if using Google Maps with the OpenLayers plugin respects their TOS? Do you have any links for Google TOS using both tiles and web view (used in OpenLayers)? Search for you must not access map tiles in the TOS (https://developers.google.com/maps/terms). That's why the OpenLayers plugin is using only the Javascript API with a WebKit Browser.

[Qgis-developer] new plugin Load TMS Layer
I have put together a simple plugin to load a number of TMS layers using the GDAL TMS mini-driver [1]. I see it as a simple alternative to the more complete OpenLayers plugin. Code is at github for now [2]. Any suggestions are welcome (including plugin name). Also if you have any other working examples please let me know. Supported layers are OSM, Google, and other examples given in [1] (except those that don't work). Tested with QGIS 2.2 and master. Rendering of labels is not the best but it seems better with master.

Re: [Qgis-developer] new plugin Load TMS Layer
Nice, few comments (based on my previous uses of the GDAL TMS mini-driver): - your plugin should make sure the loaded layer is assigned the proper projection (mostly pseudo-mercator); failing to do so will leave must users unable to understand why the TMS rendering fails - that would also switch OTF reprojection on when needed - consider adding TMS of the Global Forest Change (see http://www.earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest for data source, and https://www.flickr.com/photos/60284107@N00/11096344994/in/pool-qgis-screenshotsfor in-QGIS example) The GDAL TMS driver is in many ways a superior solution to OpenLayers; it works perfectly fine with the multi-thread rendering, can be exported via qgis composer, caches the tiles, etc. Math On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 4:45 AM, Etienne Tourigny etourigny@gmail.comwrote: I have put together a simple plugin to load a number of TMS layers using the GDAL TMS mini-driver [1].

Re: [Qgis-developer] new plugin Load TMS Layer
Matthieu, Thanks for your input! I will change the project CRS by default but make it optional. Do you have a xml file for the TMS of the Global Forest Change, or any info on what server it uses or at least the path? While working on it I realized the power of the caching - I am taking advantage of that and setting the proper cache directory. cheers Etienne On Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 11:00 PM, Mathieu Pellerin nirvn.a...@gmail.comwrote: Nice, few comments (based on my previous uses of the GDAL TMS mini-driver): - your plugin should make sure the loaded layer is assigned the proper projection (mostly pseudo-mercator); failing to do so will leave must users unable to understand why the TMS rendering fails - that would also switch OTF reprojection on when needed - consider adding TMS of the Global Forest Change (see http://www.earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest for data source, and https://www.flickr.com/photos/60284107@N00/11096344994/in/pool-qgis-screenshotsfor in-QGIS example) The GDAL TMS driver is in many ways a superior solution to OpenLayers; it works perfectly fine with the multi-thread rendering, can be exported via qgis composer, caches the tiles, etc. Math On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 4:45 AM, Etienne Tourigny etourigny@gmail.comwrote: I have put together a simple plugin to load a number of TMS layers using the GDAL TMS mini-driver [1].
