Dear all,
I would like to ask if anyone here has addressed access to Bing maps in GRASS GIS?
For my study I need aerial maps with global coverage which I can use as a basemap. To my knowledge Bing maps are not provided as WMS which I could use in GRASS GIS directly (d.wms, r.in.wms).
Thanks for your help in advance, Martin
Hi Martin,
Is running a (local) MapProxy feasible for you?
I just tried, and installing it in a Virtual Env like described here:
https://www.mapproxy.org/#getting-started
And then using a config like (attached, the default config with some virtual earth additions), I was able to request WMS images from MapProxy, being backed by QuadTile requests done by MapProxy.
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde
PS not sure, but I think you can even do this for Google Sat... mmm next challenge

Ok, this config has both Google Sat and Bing Virtual Earth layers

Hi Martin,
ISTR that we once did this using vsicurl in gdal to reference the tiles in a vrt file which you can then import using r.in.gdal. Possibly you can use vsicurl_streaming Moritz
