Using WMS server on online maps

I am trying to use a VMS server in Norway described on this URL :
This is open VMS servers managed by the norwegian state.

It is this server I am trying:

Name: Sjøkart hovedserien 2 WMS
WMS url :

openwms.statkart.no/skwms1/wms.sjo_hovedkart2?request=GetCapabilities&service=wms&version=1.1.1]http://openwms.statkart.no/skwms1/wms.sjo_hovedkart2?request=GetCapabilities&service=wms&version=1.1.1

Testcall:
openwms.statkart.no/skwms1/wms.sjo_hovedkart2?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:32633&BBOX=241436.26,6598957.12,262430.40,6615708.35&LAYERS=Sjokart_Hovedkartserien2&STYLES=&WIDTH=762&HEIGHT=608&FORMAT=image/png&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=FALSE

I have try'ed to make a xml file and placed it in the mapfiles directory. The file looks like:

<wms_services>
<wms>
<name>Kartverket sea (NOR)</name>
<uid>1001</uid><!--unique identifier in your database cache; >1000 -->
<desc>Norway sea maps</desc>
<url&gt
<minzoomlevel>8</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
<maxzoomlevel>17</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
<version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->
<layers>Sjokart_Hovedkartserien2</layers>
<coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
<format>image/png</format>
<cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
</wms>
</wms_services>

I have try'ed different url , but no matter what I do menu for mapservers in online maps do no contain a selection for this VMS server.

Nice to see so many Scandinavian users here!
The opportunity of getting these maps online on my phone would be a great advantage to me, but I am not able to understand this explanation. Could someone explain the basics in smaller, more understandable steps?

However, for Norwegian users, the Eniro marine maps are the best for offline use on the phone. They are more detailed than the Statkart maps, and can be downloaded with the latest version of MOBAC. I would love to see all the Eniro maps integrated as online maps in Oruxmaps.

I'll try to figure out if it is possible to use the Eniro maps in the same way.

My sea map now function as good as possible and with also the possibillity to use Eniro it is perfect! I was wondering about waypoints. In Norway when sailing it is very important to have knowledge about waypoints where one is safe to achor for the night. Such waypoints are shared among sailors. I was wondering if it is possible to get waypoints to the Orux application from the net based on your position. What I was thinking about was a post from the orux application with your position and the server will return something readable for the application with waypoints.

I found a HU Topo WMS data source on Mobile Atlas Creator homepage ( the map is on the following server: turaterkep.hostcity.hu).

I just inserted these lines into the wms_services.xml config file, but it's not working. Doesn't download any tiles..


<wms>
<name>Hungary Turaterkep</name>
<uid>1319</uid>
<desc>Hungary Turaterkep</desc>
<url><![CDATA
<minzoomlevel>7</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
<maxzoomlevel>16</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
<version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->
<layers>tiles</layers>
<coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
<format>image/png</format>
<cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
</wms>


Pls. help to fix it. I just have one bad feeling that it will not work with Oruxmaps as it uses 512x512 tiles.

Thanks,
Benny
