WMS server list

Following instructions to use wms_services.xml file, I was expecting a list of WMS servers (and setup) somewhere in the forum. Does someone succeded to add such services ?

I tried adding folowing service... but without success.

Code:


  <wms>
      <name>Geneve Cadastre</name>
      <uid>1292</uid><!--unique identifier in your database cache; >1000 -->
      <desc>Cadastre Geneve</desc>
      <url>http://etat.geneve.ch/ags1/services/Cadastre/MapServer/WMSServer?</url>
      <minzoomlevel>8</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <maxzoomlevel>18</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->                 
      <layers><![CDATA[ Bâtiments  ]]></layers>
      <coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
      <format>image/jpeg</format>
      <cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
  </wms>
 

Someone has an idea what could be wrong with it ?

Note that from a WEB browser, I was able to querry the server with the following command (that return me an XML). That's where I get the "layers". Not sure exactly how to use all the XML informations and what OruxMaps need.

Code:


http://etat.geneve.ch/ags1/services/Cadastre/MapServer/WMSServer?request=getcapabilities&service=WMS


Found it... I was using the wrong content for <layer> field. I was using the <Title> instead of the <name>. I'll update the list of supported layers for this server and post it into the forum.

Any way to specify multiple layers ?

You are right; you have to use 'name' tags.

You can see more layers, comma separated; example:

<layers>1,2,3,4</layers>

Thanks, works fine with multiple layer... just one more issue :

With this code, I can see correctly the map, but there's about 200-300 m positioning error :

Code:


  <wms>
      <name>Geneve Cadastre</name>
      <uid>1290</uid><!--unique identifier in your database cache; >1000 -->
      <desc>Geneve Cadastre</desc>
      <url>http://etat.geneve.ch/ags1/services/Cadastre/MapServer/WMSServer?</url>
      <minzoomlevel>8</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <maxzoomlevel>18</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->                 
      <layers>1,2,4,8,11,13</layers>
      <coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
      <format>image/jpeg</format>
      <cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
  </wms>


But for the same area, I tried another WMS server, and the position have no errors :

Code:


  <wms>
      <name>Geneve Orthophotos</name>
      <uid>1297</uid><!--unique identifier in your database cache; >1000 -->
      <desc>Geneve Orthophotos</desc>
      <url>http://etat.geneve.ch/ags2/services/Rasters_wgs84/MapServer/WMSServer?</url>
      <minzoomlevel>8</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <maxzoomlevel>18</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->                 
      <layers>7</layers>
      <coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
      <format>image/jpeg</format>
      <cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
  </wms>


Could it be a projection issue ? I didn't find any projection indication into the "GetCapabilities" returned XML. Just one more SRS specified.

Any idea what could be wrong ?

Strange; if the wms can work with EPSG:4326 (simple latitude/longitude) it should work fine.

Test with http://www.idee.es/clientesIGN/wmsGenericClient/index.html?lang=En

viewer and 'center on map' option.

Apparently Map Viewer has some issues too.. see the attached picture, the Tiles are not joined correctly.




Strange !

Hi,

UID is a number > 1000, unique for each wms you insert in wms file.

You have to put a valid 'layer'.

May be the url you use is not valid. I have found this wms:

Code:


   <wms>
      <name>Aqua (ITA)</name>
      <uid>1010</uid><!--unique identifier in your database cache; >1000 -->
      <desc>aste fluviali</desc>
      <url><![CDATA[http://wms.pcn.minambiente.it/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms_ogc/service/astefluviali.map&]]></url>
      <minzoomlevel>8</minzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <maxzoomlevel>17</maxzoomlevel><!-- 0 to 20 -->
      <version>1.1.1</version><!-- do not change -->
      <layers>aste_fluviali</layers>
      <coordinatesystem>EPSG:4326</coordinatesystem><!-- do not change -->
      <format>image/jpeg</format>
      <cache>1</cache><!-- not in use -->
   </wms>

where do you have found it?

thanks

From your post:

Select 'Disegna Mappa' anywhere in the site: http://www.pcn.minambiente.it/mdSearch/

Now you will see a wms viewer. Select 'Servizi WMS'

Select a service:





Now you have the URL.

Select 'Catalogo'. Then you will see the available layers name.

thanks...is this correct?
