It may not seem significant but there it is, my test polygon set against a basemap of 1:20,000 contours and water course from the BC provincial WMS server. I made a MAJOR personal break through this morning. This looks promising, any tips? Here's where I'm getting the provincial WMS URLs Here's the new URL I used in Manifold generated by Demo Requests in Geoserver No way I could get the cascaded layer to show up in BC Albers, it always came into Manifold in lat/long. In Geoserver, I left Native SRS = ESPG:3587 then tried variations of setting Declared SRS to ESPG:3587 and alternatively Declared SRS as ESPG:3005 with SRS Handling to "reproject native to declared". Outcome: The layer even when cascaded through Geoserver is still in lat/long and not ESPG:3005 (BC Albers) as I need. Used Demo to generate the syntax for the new WMS url which I used in Manifold to link an image.įirst CRS on the provincial WMS is lat/long which is my problem. Added a new layer from one of the layers offered on the WMS (I chose contours 1:20,000) Added store into which I added the WMS URL, this one: Main steps I followed for cascading WMS in Geoserver: I spent the day experimenting with Geoserver on my laptop.

I couldn't wait, downloaded Geoserver and JRE. I tried search and replace in a plain text editor and that worked more efficiently but the resulting file wouldn't connect to the WMS server. There are about 20 such files to edit and if the province updates the GetCapabilitiies file, I would have to edit them all again. xml file but MS-XML editor is terribly slow and the file terribly big to delete all CRS except ESPG 3005. In reading the user manual, I'm not sure Geoserver caches the tiles locally or just passes them through. Manifold uses the first projection and I want that one to be ESPG 3005. I'm hoping I can publish the layer and offer it in only one projection, BC Albers/ESPG 3005 for Manifold. Then in Geoserver I configure/publish the layer(s). My understanding is I copy the URL for a dataset from the provincial WMS site, add it as a new store in Geoserver.
#FREE WMS URL DOWNLOAD#
I have to wait until I'm back with highspeed Internet to download and try it. Is there a means of saving WMS tiles? I'm thinking of a program where I enter the WMS url, I choose from among the offered projections, indicate my area of interest, and the program downloads and saves the georeferenced tiles? I can use an open source GIS that gets the correct projection from the WMS server but it's a hassle creating maps in 2 different programs and the final products from two different GIS programs create different looking legends, north arrows, etc. I previously tried saving the xml file from the Get Capabilities call and modifying it but couldn't successfully connect to the provincial WMS server.
#FREE WMS URL SOFTWARE#
There were some commercial options but the software costs more than Manifold. I'm just a user and have no abilities with CGI, PHP or Java. Other options were technically beyond me. Most of the options I could find offered to take an existing map and serve it up as WMS tiles not download them. Today I pursued trying to find a program or utility to download tiles in my desired projection and then import or link to those raster images (hopefully they are georegistered).

Manifold uses the first projection offered which on this WMS server is Lat and Lon which is not the projection I want. Hi, I'm still trying to find a way to use WMS tiles from our provincial government servers in BC Albers projection.
