Five Things You Did Not Know about QuickMapServices

QuickMapServices is one of the most widely used QGIS plugins, with millions of downloads worldwide. It gives QGIS users fast access to a large catalogue of basemaps and other web map services, but there is much more to it than adding a familiar background map.

In this session, we will explore the current state of QuickMapServices and reveal useful things you may not know about it. We will look at the refreshed QMS catalogue, including its new map view and support for vector tiles, as well as recent plugin capabilities such as favourites, filtering services by the current map extent, and easier discovery of relevant maps.

You will also learn how the catalogue works behind the scenes, how services are selected and maintained, and why QMS has become such a popular part of the geospatial ecosystem. Whether you use it every day or have only installed it once for a quick basemap, this talk will help you get more from it.
