<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hello all,<br><br>I would like to insert a modern basemap on a running mapserver project.<br>Currently I set a mapfile including about 15 layers and a raster tif file representing<br>the hillshade of the study area, as basemap.<br>My aim is to substitute the running base map with something more dynamic as well as<br>with higher resolution and at the same time not heavy to slow down the service.<br>These basemap aspects are new for me, I found documentation but not so clear for me,<br>I need something easy. What can you suggest me? Is it an hard stuff? or can I handle it?<br>I think I could have at least 2 possibilities: to insert a WMS global layer, (and in case can you suggest me<br>a nice service?), or set up something like tiles service (like OSM), in case how??<br><br>Thank you in advance,<br><br>E.<br> </div></body>
