Google Earth Placemark: Nasa WMS.kmz

[Julien, Heryk]

Hi John,
Unfortunately my current Mapserver installation is not public however I'm sending you a kmz file with a wms landsat7 layer from Nasa (see attached file). I don't know what type of wms compliant server they are using however it's still a good wms example.

Once you open the kmz file right click the new Nasa WMS layer in the left menu to access its properties.  A window should then pop out. In the bottom the window you will find a tab that will let you access wms parameters so you don't have to manually edit the wms getmap url. That should do the trick.

FYI, in my Mapserver setup I'm using png with the following mapfile configuration:

# image format options
 OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME png
  DRIVER "GD/PNG"
  MIMETYPE "image/png"
  IMAGEMODE RGB
  EXTENSION "png"
 END

Cheers
Héryk

Hi Heryk,

that is good news!  Could you please send me an example of the new KML 
that you used to connect to your WMS?  I'm not seeing the option in the 
docs.

Thanks!
