<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">I should also add that there are
scale restrictions on the various layers in the service, but I have tried
various layers and can’t get any of them to work. “Flood Data Availability” may
not have been the best example to use here because it does not display at large
scales (larger than 1:300,000).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Also, the service is not tiled
and the maximum image size is 1024 x 1024 pixels. ArcMap is able to bring it in
and it displays correctly.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">I can get the service to display

<p class="MsoNormal">I have not been able to bring in the FEMA NFHL Flood Mapping
WMS into my Geomoose map via a mapfile. What am I missing? Can anyone help???
Here is my mapfile. I have tried both “Flood Data Availability” and
“HDM:Q3_COUNTYMAP” as the wms_name, and have tried calling both from the
map-source in the mapbook file. Maybe there is a problem with the extent?</p>
