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

• JOSM
• OpenJUMP
• JMapDesk
• GvSIG

Features

Basic features:

• Runs locally in the background as a server.
• Can be accessed as a WMS service version 1.1.1.
• Contains the following predefined layers (from remote tile server (requires internet access, see Tiling)):
  • OpenStreetMap*
  • Google Maps*
  • Yahoo! Maps*
• Serves local images:
  • 'Ad-hoc' image layer (file); requires one image file (no tiling) and a World file as configuration (use e.g. WorldFileTool to georeference]).
  • Supported formats: jpg, gif, png.
