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" target="_blank">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 href="http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Ohio?REQUEST=capabilities&amp;SERVICE=WMS" target="_blank">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" target="_blank">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>

            <br>    METADATA<br>      &quot;wms_srs&quot;             &quot;EPSG:4326&quot;<br>      &quot;wms_title&quot;           &quot;OH_AllenCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006&quot;<br>      &quot;wms_name&quot;            &quot;OH_AllenCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006&quot;<br>

      &quot;wms_layer&quot;           &quot;OH_AllenCounty_1.0ft_Color_Mar_2006&quot;<br>      &quot;wms_server_version&quot;  &quot;1.1.1&quot;<br>      &quot;wms_format&quot;          &quot;image/png&quot;<br>      #&quot;wms_latlonboundingbox&quot; &quot;-85.000000, 38.000000, -80.250000, 42.000000&quot;<br>

    #&quot;wms_opaque&quot; &quot;255,255,255&quot;<br>      &quot;basemap&quot; &quot;1&quot;<br>    END<br>  <br>  END<br><br>As I have tried to get a single county to work, but I have had no success, yet.<br>Any haelp would be appreciated.<br>

<br>Thank you<br><br>Joe<br><br><br>
