Hi Martin, and others... I guess I was a little unclear about other WMS servers... What I wanted to say was nothing I found offered any particular advantages over what the current Map application produces using current fgdata BTG files, and OpenGL rendering... I was hoping your mapserver could eventually produce something more, like the airport and navaid overlays I mentioned... images with lots of 'features'... And thank you to all the others, who responded with ideas. Some of these were great, like Alex's idea of Atlas getting its map image directly from a WMS server... And the idea that terrasync could be used to download any missing fgdata areas... And reminders about other WMS servers like mapnik2, kde marble, QGIS, GDAL, etc, et al... Well, you are all welcome to negotiate with the Atlas maintainers (Brian), and produce and offer what ever code you are interested in ;=)) The ONLY thing I am interested in at this time is to use the presently moribund GetMap application, either as part of the Atlas suite, or separately, to produce other, different maps for use with Atlas, and the ZKV1000... And yes Martin, I had missed those bottom entries on mapserver giving the GetCapabilities URL... will check that out... And there is no problem using EPSG:900913, in that it is quite simple to add a bit of code to GetMap allowing the user to still input WSG84 (EPSG:4326), and present EPSG:900913 to mapserver... So, I had already previous adjust my WIN32 GetMap to accept a single (long) URL, as is, like what you gave, and use only that to get the image... But all I got was a mostly gray and white checkered tile, which I assume is the transparent color, with a small artifact on the top right... is that it? See - http://geoffair.org/tmp/tempfile.png The lat,lon you used 51.18,6.42 - 51.23,6.50 seems to be a 'residential' area, on Hutterbaum St, or have I really screwed up this Mercator to wsg84 conversion, or something... Look forward to your advice what I am doing wrong... remember I used the URL exactly as per your email - http://mapserver.flightgear.org/tc/?LAYERS=tarmac&TRANSPARENT=true&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:900913&BBOX=714227.59136875,6653078.93995,724011.5309875,6662862.8795688&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256 And yes, while more and other ideas are always welcome, understand I am only trying to get maps, from a WMS, written to disk... a limited engagement at this time ;=(( Regards, Geoff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
