How to Add Google Satellite Imagery & Basemaps in QGIS | 2 Easy Methods | GIS Basic | FragSourav

Learn how to add Google Satellite imagery and other online basemaps to QGIS using two easy methods. In this beginner-friendly QGIS tutorial, I demonstrate how to install and use the NextGIS QuickMapServices plugin. You will learn how to add and compare Google Satellite, Google Hybrid, Google Roads, OpenStreetMap, and Esri Light Gray basemaps. I also explain how to create a custom XYZ tile connection, what the X, Y, and Z values in a tile URL represent, and how to display a shapefile clearly over different basemaps. In this video, you will learn: ✅ How to install NextGIS QuickMapServices ✅ How to add Google Satellite imagery to QGIS ✅ How to use Google Hybrid and Google Roads ✅ How to explore OpenStreetMap and Esri basemaps ✅ How to create a custom XYZ tile connection ✅ What X, Y, and Z mean in an XYZ tile URL ✅ How to add a shapefile over a basemap ✅ How to create a transparent fill with a visible outline ✅ How to arrange layers correctly in the Layers panel ✅ How to compare different basemaps in QGIS OpenStreetMap XYZ tile URL used in the tutorial: https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png Online basemaps are primarily intended to provide visual context. Always check the provider’s current licence, usage restrictions, and attribution requirements before using imagery in published or commercial projects. 🎯 Who is this video for?
