Exploring QGIS Plugins

1) MMQGIS: Take a look at MMQGIS, which is a large collection of Python tools for QGIS. It lets users interact with vector map layers in a dynamic way. It has features like CSV operations, geocoding, geometry changes, buffering, and even simple animation. What makes MMQGIS stand out is that it shows progress in a clear way, has an easy-to-use interface, gives straight access to shapefiles and CSV files, and has some features that you won’t find in other plugins.

2) HCMGIS: HCMGIS is a full suite that can be used for many GIS jobs. Users can do the following:

Use world basemaps from Google, Carto, ESRI, and the like.
Use the Batch Converter to convert CSV files to different GIS types in a smooth way.
You can get open data from many places, like Stanford University and OSM Geofabrik.
Integrate easily with Vn-2000 projections that are specific to the areas of Vietnam.
Do advanced spatial processing, like making centerlines for road networks or finding the biggest empty circle in a set of points.
You can change features, combine data fields, and even change fonts to Vietnamese.
3) QuickMapServices:
QuickMapServices makes the world of geoservices easier to understand by giving users an easy way to add basemaps. With its simple list of services and easy-to-use search function, it has never been easier to find datasets and basemaps and work with them.

Integrating Google and Bing Basemaps in QGIS without Additional Plugins
