The Google Maps in my OpenLayers plugin in QGIS 2.12 does not show anymore. The other maps do show, that is:
- OSM
- Bing
- MapQuest
- Stamen
- Apple Maps
I tried in QGIS 2.8 and Google Maps does not show there either. This is the case in both my home and work computers, which are on different networks. Did the Google Maps go away?
Answer
Quick Map Services is build upon OpenLayers plugin (thx to github). The biggest difference is that Quick Map Services uses tile servers and not the direct api for getting google layers via OpenLayers which causes zoom errors,... give Quick Map Services a try.
How to get the Google Layers activated: go to Quick Map Services -> Settings -> select the tab 'contributed services' and press 'Get contributed pack'. When you now go to Q.M.S. your list of available layers is extended.
