OpenStreetMap: http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png Bing Aerial: http://ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{q}.jpeg?g=1 Google Hybrid: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z} Google Satellite: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&x={x}&y={y}&z={z} Google Road: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
- Open aerial imagery by right clicking the relevant service link and selecting Add Layer to Project.
Note: make sure you have set the CRS for your project first. Otherwise the imagery may use a different projection to the Layer data you are working with. Setting the CRS is easiest done by opening an Vector dataset first, right clicking it in the Layer Panel and selecting "Set Project CRS from Layer".
