Seilaplan Tutorial: Load WMS layers as background maps

In this tutorial we show you how to obtain maps that are helpful for cable line planning, for example a national map of Switzerland at different scales, the NFI vegetation height model or the NFI forest mix rate. For this we explain what WMS datasets are and how to integrate them into QGIS.

No download of large data is needed for this, only a good internet connection. Please note that the tutorial language is German!
