[mapserver-users] Map Not Available at This Scale Image

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Couple of options.


1)      You can create a layer that displays that text in the middle of the map and have it turn on below a certain scale. If doing tiling w/meta-tiling you'd want draw the text the same number of times as you have meta-tiles. That would take some mucking about but it's doable.

2)      There's a little used parameter in the WEB section called MINTEMPATE/MAXTEMPLATE. MapServer will redirect to the URL specified depending on scale. It's been ages since I used it but in theory you could reference an image with the necessary text by URL.

Hi list,

I have a number of layers that are on or off depending on the zoom level and some of those layers do not have coverage in certain areas. The question is, is there a way to display a map image saying something along the lines of, "Map not available at this level"?

I think I have read somewhere that it can be done in a round about way but I cannot find any information after having a good internet trawl.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Donald
