How do I write code (map File) to consume aerial images (not obliques) from Google maps or Bing etc.
This is an example of a few services that I am consuming right now... BUT need the aerials....I assume that I can consume the aerials just as you see in Bing or Google Maps.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. <map title="Weather Radar" default="false" zindex="-1"> <file>http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi-bin/wms/nexrad/n0r.cgi?LAYERS=nexrad-n0r&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&SRS=EPSG:26915&BBOX=%MINX%,%MINY%,%MAXX%,%MAXY%&WIDTH=%WIDTH%&HEIGHT=%HEIGHT%&TRANSPARENT=TRUE</file> </map> <map title="Infrared Satellite" default="false" zindex="-1"> <file>http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi-bin/wms/nexrad/conus_ir.cgi?LAYERS=nexrad-ir&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&SRS=EPSG:26915&BBOX=%MINX%,%MINY%,%MAXX%,%MAXY%&WIDTH=%WIDTH%&HEIGHT=%HEIGHT%&TRANSPARENT=TRUE</file> </map> -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schmidt [mailto:crschm...@metacarta.com] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 4:14 PM To: Jay Kapalczynski Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver consuming Google Maps On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 03:49:54PM -0500, Jay Kapalczynski wrote: > I am trying to see if there is a way to consume the Aerial images from Google > Maps inside a map server / open layers application. Not the obliques... > Is this at all possible? Even fee based.... OpenLayers does this by design. (It is not a 'Desktop client'.) So yes.
