WMS Server

How could set up a wms sever so that my browser can get the map info I need ? What kind of data scourse can I use,In what format? If I can handle this in IIS how can I transplant it on tomcat??

I'd look at OpenLayers for that.

Google Earth's WMS support

This page suggests Google Earth can act as a WMS client, but I can't see anything about that in Google Earth's help: is it true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterParslow (talk • contribs) 17:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, you are right, Google Earth does not support WMS. (unless it is WMS encapsulated in the Network-KML standard, thus not direct WMS anymore) I will remove Google Earth from the list of WMS-supporting software. -- Lordsatri (talk) 18:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of online map services

Is the article List of online map services a list of Web Map Services or not? --2A02:2C40:200:0:0:5EFE:A5C:830F (talk) 15:17, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- In my opinion, no. There's thousands, if not more, WMS servers over the Internet - it doesn't make sense to me listing them on Wikipedia. Instead of listing individual servers, maybe we should start pointing to CSW catalogs of WMS servers? -- Lordsatri (talk) 10:38, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
