Thank you! I also tried adding the Google Maps raster through XYZ tiles via the URL but nothing showed. But yours worked. Not sure why??

[@lostmapper]

Are you talking about the URL for lostmapper.com/qgis-xyz-tiles/? Did you make sure to click Select All when importing them?

How to magnify the text or labels size of google map? It's too small

[@lostmapper]

Google Maps are served as tiles of images, so there's no way to increase their font size.
Check out my video on OpenStreetMap to get an idea of how you can change the style of an OSM vector layer: ruclips.net/video/C-nvk10xXM8/видео.html

Hi, I added the raster through the XYZ tiles but nothing comes up to me. I am sure the layer is on and I have "zoomed to layer" but my screen is blank. Also, I don't have QuickMapServices plugging on my list. It seems my QGIS is buggeg. I downloaded the newest version 3.32, any idea what is wrong? I will try to download an older version.
Thanks

Hi there. Is this happening with only the Google Maps tiles? Does it also happen if you add an OpenStreetMap layer?
If you're having issues with both plugins and tile layers, I wonder if perhaps you're having a network issue? Is this on Windows, Mac or Linux?

Actually i did not found the URL

[@lostmapper]

Which URL are you talking about? Did you check the video details?
