  • They have plug-ins for web tiles, and you can connect to the ArcGIS map services. It has a terminal, but I don’t use that function much. I generally do all data manipulation and prep using Python and postGIS, and use Q as a visualization and editing tool. But it has plugins for just about everything. Most of the data resources ESRI gives you is repackaged public data, so searching the internet will provide you with most of the layers you might need.



  • For search I switched to DuckDuckGo as my default years ago with little notice, and only use Google search occasionally when I’m shopping. I noticed last week they are starting to hammer you with the sign in prompt every time I use it so they can more easily track my searches That’s a bad sign for things to come, the free ride might be over. The only thing Google I actually use these days is YouTubeTv because it gives a cable TV experience without having to deal with Comcast. Would love to hear suggestions for competitors so I can disconnect completely.
