QuickMapCompare QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Build a grid of side-by-side viewports in a dockable panel to compare QGIS layers, built-in tile basemaps, and web map providers at once, with per-viewport live sync to the main map canvas.
About
QuickMapCompare builds a grid of side-by-side "viewports" in a dockable panel, each showing a QGIS layer, a native WMS/XYZ tile basemap (OpenStreetMap, Esri, CartoDB, Google Maps, Bing Maps, and more), or an embedded Web Map Provider. Every viewport can live-sync to the main QGIS canvas as you pan and zoom, and layer/tile viewports support an on-canvas "Swipe Compare" gesture (hold S and drag) to compare directly against the live canvas with no separate window.
