[GIS] How to manage the CRS of OpenLayers plugin in QGIS

coordinate systemqgisqgis-openlayers-pluginqgis-plugins

I am working with OpenLayers plugin in QGIS 1.8 but I am not sure on how should I manage the CRS.

The default CRS for Google/Bing layers is WGS84/Pseudo Mercator (EPGS:3857) but I am not sure on the CRS of the new layer I want to work on.

Best Answer

For the Openlayers plugin, the Project CRS must be in EPSG:3857.

Your other layers can have different Layer CRS, if you have enabled On-the-fly-reprojection.

BTW, current version of QGIS is 2.4, and the openlayers plugin does not support older versions anymore.
