Hi;

WMS --> you can use and download maps from wms using OruxMaps:

https://oruxmaps.forumotion.com/t411-using-wms-server-on-online-maps

georeferenced aerial image --> you have to use OruxMapsDesktop to convert the image to an OruxMAps map (see manual page): http://www.oruxmaps.com/index_en.html

1)
My version of WMS is 1.3.0

Can I change the WMS_services.xml file to from 1.1.1 to 1.3.0. It says there do not change.

2)
Also I have 10 layers. do I list all 10 layers in the layers file? How do you list multiple layers? What is the exact way to do it?

example?

<layers>countyborder</layers>,
<layers>sections</layers>,
<layers>lakes</layers>,
<layers>roads</layers>,
<layers>Naip2010AerialPhoto</layers>,


OR do you just insert the name of the folder on the WMS server that is above the individual layers?

for example mine is layers

so just write ???????????????
<layers>layers</layers>


OR do you write it like this???????

<layers>countyborder, sections, lakes, roads, Naip2010AerialPhoto</layers>


3)
Also my WMS service is png8

Do I write <format>image/png8</format> or just <format>image/png</format>

Hi,

1) A WMS 1.3.0 should be compatible with a 1.1.1 request. Use 1.1.1 value.

2)Create one wms per map you want to see in OruxMaps, combining layers, comma separated, an example (without spaces):
<layers>countyborder,sections,lakes,roads,Naip2010AerialPhoto</layers>

3)I do not know if android supports png8 format (I think yes). Try with image/png8 but I think the wms should support other formats, like png or jpeg.

Copy paste here the wms capabilities, and the wms you are creating, will be easy for me to help you.

Hi,

Please help. I created a WMS service with ArcGIS server. I have been testing this all week in OruxMaps and I can not get it to display no matter what settings I insert.

With the android app Locus Pro all I have to do is add a new WMS service and typed this link and it works.

http://207.171.101.128/arcgis/services/GR15mi/MapServer/WmsServer?

You should zoom to the city of Grand Rapids, Minnesota 55744 before you turn this on. The WMS service shows and aerial photo and a colored polygons of some large forest acres.

Here is the capabilities file

getcapabilities111.xml
http://207.171.101.128/arcgis/services/GR15mi/MapServer/WmsServer?version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities

getcapabilities130.xml
http://207.171.101.128/arcgis/services/GR15mi/MapServer/WmsServer?version=1.3.0&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities


OruxMaps will show the WMS service in the list but will not display it.

How should the WMS_services.xml file be modified to get it to display? The following entries for my WMS in the wms_services.xml
file do not work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wms_services>
