Open MapInfo Professional
...
| Tip |
|---|
Our Map Sources are WMS and WFS compatible but MapInfo has a tough time of connecting to them; our best guess is some sort of MapInfo patch. Anyhow, the trick is to create the WMS connection as normal and then modify the XML. The The original XML file looked like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
| <MI_WMS_MapDefinition version="1.0" wms_version="1.3.0">
<HTTP GetCapabilities="http://inspire.wycombemy_council.gov.uk/getows.ashx?mapsource=WycombeMyCouncil/Inspire"
GetMap="http://inspire.wycombemy_council.gov.uk/getows.ashx?mapsource=WycombeMyCouncil/Inspire&"/>
<Exception format="XML"/>
<SRS>EPSG:27700</SRS>
<Image bgcolor="16777215" transparent="true" format="image/png"/>
<Layer><Name>Overlays</Name><Style></Style><LatLonBoundingBox minx="-180" miny="-90" maxx="180" maxy="90"/><BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:27700" minx="410000" miny="180000" maxx="500000" maxy="210000"/>
</Layer>
</MI_WMS_MapDefinition> |
The new one looks like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
| <MI_WMS_MapDefinition version="1.0" wms_version="1.3.0">
<HTTP GetCapabilities="http://inspire.wycombemy_council.gov.uk/getows.ashx?mapsource=WycombeMyCouncil/Inspire&SERVICE=WMS" GetMap="http://inspire.wycombemy_council.gov.uk/getows.ashx?mapsource=WycombeMyCouncil/Inspire&SERVICE=WMS"/>
<SRS>EPSG:27700</SRS>
<Image bgcolor="16777215" transparent="true" format="image/png"/>
<Layer><Name>Overlays</Name><Style></Style><LatLonBoundingBox minx="-180" miny="-90" maxx="180" maxy="90"/><BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:27700" minx="410000" miny="180000" maxx="500000" maxy="210000"/>
</Layer>
</MI_WMS_MapDefinition> |
| Note |
|---|
As you can see we have added SERVICE=WMS to the two URLs and removed the Exception format line. |
