[GIS] OpenLayers plugin for QGIS problem with maps loading

openlayers-2openstreetmapqgis

I am new in GIS. I use QGIS 2.0.1 with OpenLayers plugin downloaded from official repository. When I click to Add OpenStreetMap layer the map is not showing and load process is never ending. What is the problem and how can I solve it ?

Best Answer

I had a similar problem, which was caused by QGIS not being able to connect to a network to access the internet (ie, I needed to route through a proxy server but QGIS 2 did not pick up the default proxy settings). I resolved the issue by going to Settings>Options>Network and adding in the proxy server details and login credentials.

I am not sure if this is the same problem as what you are encountering, but the symptoms sound familiar, so it is worth checking.
