Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • For Mapa das Periferias project.
  • Users want a way to simply toggle the basemap to different layers, without going to the sidebar.
  • We could add a button to the UI to swap between OSM and Satellite quickly.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Create a small global QField plugin that is installable.
  • Instead of replicating functionality and having the ability to select any of the baselayers (this can be done with one extra click in the sidebar...).
  • I think we should have two layers configured as connected to the plugin switcher.
  • The user clicks the button and it simply toggles between the two layers, whether that is OSM & Satellite, OSM & OAM drone imagery, Satellite & offline drone imagery, etc.
