Five Things You Did Not Know about QuickMapServices: recording and slides

On October 21, we hosted a webinar exploring QuickMapServices beyond its familiar role as a quick way to add basemaps in QGIS. The recording and presentation are now available, so you can catch up or revisit the features demonstrated during the session.

We covered the QMS ecosystem, how its catalogue works, and recent improvements that make finding and using map services easier:

• Catalogue map view to preview services and explore their coverage.
• Vector tile support in the QMS catalogue.
• Plugin favourites and filtering by map extent to quickly find relevant services.
• Contributing services and understanding how the catalogue is maintained.
• Using QMS in your own applications with the JavaScript SDK.

Whether you use QuickMapServices every day or have only tried it for a basemap, the webinar offers practical ways to get more from the plugin and the infrastructure behind it.
