🧭 Need reliable basemap layers in QGIS?

This article benchmarks 3 efficient methods for adding basemaps:

🔸 QGIS Base Map (WMTS from Mapscaping)
🔸 QuickMapServices (customizable plugin with OSM, Google, ESRI...)
🔸 Basemap plugin (user-defined XYZ/WMTS sources)

Comparison includes ease of use, customization & performance.

The #javascript library #ogc-client released v1.1 with many new features and new supported standards like #ogcapi features, records and #wmts

So today i had a strange revelation which has the potential for a PSA in #gischat : while our #mapcache powered #wmts for #historicalmap in Hessen has worked from the start in #qgis i have received reports from #arcmap users (v10) that they could not use the service. It was showing the notorious red exclamation mark. Not being #opensource there was no way to determine the reason it failed. Turns out it was a colon in the scale (1:25.000) in the metadata title Tag. IMHO a tale to #switch2qgis

Hey #OpenStreetMap, #JOSM community - what could be the reason for an #WMTS service (https://lvmgeoserver.lvm.lv/geoserver/gwc/service/wmts) to fail in JOSM with "stream is closed"?
