This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate Web Map Service (WMS) layers into your mapping application. WMS layers allow you to display georeferenced map images from standard OGC-compliant web services, providing access to a wide variety of pre-rendered map imagery from servers around the world.
You'll learn how to:
- Create a WMS layer that connects to an external map service
- Configure layer properties such as visibility and layer selection
- Specify which layers to request from the WMS server
- Enable tilted view support for 3D visualization
- Add the WMS layer to your map's overlay manager
WMS integration is essential for applications that need to incorporate standardized map imagery from external sources. This capability allows you to access authoritative map data from government agencies, research institutions, and other organizations, enhancing your maps with professionally rendered cartography and specialized thematic layers.
