I am currently using QGIS 3.14.

I cannot find the OpenLayers Plugin, it is not in the list, and when I add Quick Map Services Plugin, it does not have Bing maps in it (or Google Maps either).

How can I get Bing maps (satellite) to display in QGIS 3.14?

  • Go to Layer > Add Layer > Add XYZ Layer..

  • Click New

  • Name as Bing Maps(as you wish)

  • URL as http://ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{q}.jpeg?g=1

  • click Ok

  • Select XYZ Connections as Bing Maps(Which you created now)

  • Do you know what the significance of the g query string parameter is?

You need to use QMS Search from the toolbar. Then search for Google, and you will find a satellite basemap as well as other basemaps:

  • You could also add the contributed layer ( it's somewhere in the setting), you'll get several google base map and lots of other ( not sure for bing)

You may run a python script in order to add a lot of available XYZ-tiles to your browser permanently, including Bing Virtual Earth.

The following script was created by Klas Karlsson:

"""
This script should be run from the Python consol inside QGIS.

It adds online sources to the QGIS Browser.
Each source should contain a list with the folowing items (string type):
[sourcetype, title, authconfig, password, referer, url, username, zmax, zmin]

You can add or remove sources from the sources section of the code.

Regarding the terms of use for these background maps YOU will need to verify that you
follow the individual EULA that comes with the different services,
Most likely they will restrict how you can use the data.
