Greetings,<br><br>I have a 2 part question.<br>The USGS offers aerial imagery WMS service. This URL shows the location:<br><a href="http://seamless.usgs.gov/wms_services.php?layerid=15">http://seamless.usgs.gov/wms_services.php?layerid=15</a><br>
<br> I want to incorporate a WMS service from the USGS that references many layers (in this case, county aerial imagery). The getcapabilites request show the layers in xml:<br>...<br>OH_WoodCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006<br>
OH_WilliamsCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006<br>OH_WayneCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006<br>and so on.<br><br>The online service URL is:<a class="p2" target="_blank" href="http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Ohio?REQUEST=capabilities&amp;SERVICE=WMS">http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Ohio?REQUEST=capabilities&amp;SERVICE=WMS</a><br>
<br>1. Is there a way to populate all these layers into my map with a single request, or do I need to make a mapfile layer object for each county?<br><br>2. If so, In doing this do I need the metadata to spell out each layer&#39;s(county) specific metadata? {title, bbox, name, layer, srid}<br>
<br><br>My mapfile currently reads:<br><br>LAYER<br>    NAME &quot;OSIP-WMS&quot;<br>    TYPE RASTER<br>    #TRANSPARENCY 40<br>    STATUS OFF<br>    #MINSCALEDENOM 6000<br>    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS<br>    CONNECTION &quot;<a href="http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Ohio?REQUEST=capabilities&amp;SERVICE=WMS&amp;layers=OH_AllenCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006">http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Ohio?REQUEST=capabilities&amp;SERVICE=WMS&amp;layers=OH_AllenCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006</a>&quot;<br>
