Adding Basemaps from Google or Bing in QGIS?


ArcGIS Desktop has the option of using basemaps from ArcGIS online.


Does QGIS have any such options?



Answer



Update 2019: No plugin needed, see new answer: https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/217670/187


Update 2015: A new plugin with even more background map options is QuickMapServices


Original: Use the OpenLayers plugin to get Google Maps, Bing, OSM or Yahoo background maps.


Note that these layers are NOT SUITABLE FOR PRINTING! (see open tickets in the answer to https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/42141/187)
