Julien M., monteur pour Canal+ (Paris) :
"Depuis la v153, je n’utilise plus Google Earth Studio. L’intégration des données INSEE en CSV est une tuerie. Et le fait que le logiciel parle français m’a fait gagner 2 heures de tutos."
Lisa K., freelance (Montréal) :
"Sur mon Mac M3, la version tourne à une vitesse folle. La recherche de rues au Québec respecte les noms français et anglais sans bug. C’est enfin pro."
The headline feature for French users: "FR" denotes full French localization.
Version 1.5.3 (v153) is a stability and performance release. While the jump from v2 to v3 was massive (adding WebGL rendering), v153 focuses on the polish that professionals need.
As with many specialized plugins, GeoLayers 3 requires an active internet connection to pull map tile data from providers. Users must also adhere to the terms of service of the map data providers (like Mapbox or OpenStreetMap) regarding attribution and usage rights in commercial projects.
We tested v153 against the previous official release (v152) on a Mid-2023 MacBook Pro M2 Pro (16GB RAM).
