printing - Print composer problems Qgis 2.8 Wien with Google Satellite



I am having serious problems in exporting a map (Google satellite map) linked to QGIS.


Using the print editor I clearly see the part of the map I want to print and also in the right scale, but when I save it as jpeg, the result is: the correct map in a circle in the middle of the page, and all around it seems that Qgis is zooming at different scale on another part of the map [see attached file].


Any suggestion about it ? I don't want to save it as simple screenshot because I need an HD file.

Use "QuickMapServices" plugin rather then OpenLayers. I'd never recommend that anyone uses that OpenLayers plugin anymore, it's just too buggy.


This contains one fairly high 'open satellite' layer - the Mapquest Open Aerial layer:

..and when used in a print composer export, displays quite accurately without any artifacts or mis-alignments:
