About...

Many GIS/geodata editors nowadays include the Web Map Server protocol (WMS) from OGC, but often they lack support of free map services like OpenStreetMap and local images. OpenStreetMap serves as a free background map and it's cached, tiled and remote. Georeferenced local images very handy for getting special local knowledge into one's own geodata.

Note that local images need to be georeferenced and aligned to north before hand. See WorldFileTool for more information about georeferencing.

DesktopWMS is based on Peter Damen's 'GoogleWMS' software.

DesktopWMS has been reported to work with the following GIS and map viewer:

Features

Ideas (not scheduled):

  • Serving OpenStreetMap through the tiling API (see [Tiling]).
  • Serving 'Yahoo Maps!' through the tiling API (see [Tiling]).
  • Tiled local image layer; requires tiled image file in local subdirectory.
  • Serving Shapefiles
