<p>Anyone care to check out this new website by USGS to see if these WMS links really work?<br>
<br>
I still think their website is confusing...<br>

Hi Brian,<font size="4"> <br>
</font><br>
We added WMS links as an additional column in our list of services at <a href="http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/example/services.html"><u><font color="#0000FF">http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/example/services.html</font></u></a>. As we discussed on the phone on August 24, an example of a WMS URL is "<a href="http://raster.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/services/TNM_Large_Scale_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?"><u><font color="#0000FF">http://raster.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/services/TNM_Large_Scale_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?</font></u></a>" when adding a service to ArcMap.<font size="4"> <br>
</font><br>
In regards to your question about 4-band, we do not offer this additional band in our REST service endpoint for imagery display since the service itself is a mosaic of 3-band. However, most downloads of 1-meter imagery from <i>The National Map</i> Viewer contain 4-bands. The deliverables of the 2012 NAIP program included 4-band imagery as the base product.<font size="4"> <br>
</font><br>
Please contact us again if you have additional questions.<font size="4"> <br>

Hi Calvin,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the clarification on the WMS address but that is only half the answer.<br>
<br>
For whatever reason, the link won't fully load into ArcMap 10.0. Note I am starting with a blank map running Win7. <br>
<br>
The problem could be ESRI, the WMS configuration you are serving, or the DoI network.<br>
<br>
The Add layer appears to work and it does add the TNM Large Scale imagery as a layer. <br>
<br>
However nothing comes up. Zooming in on the blank screen makes it appear the 1 meter layer goes from gray to bold...but still nothing comes up.<br>
<br>
Also from a layer stand point, you are mixing the 1 foot imagery under the 1 meter imagery. This is not logical.<br>
<br>
<br>
More importantly, your answer does not address the overall larger problem. A simple list of OGC compliant feeds. Yes a link as you have it to the entire code page is helpful for the programmers but for us users not interested in the code...a simple list would do wonders. <br>
<br>
Also, I am not smart enough to know why a '?' mark needs to be added to each layer link. (My guess is this is an ESRI thing?) It might help to make a note for folks on the webpages so this is not a confusing issue.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any fixes.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
<br>

Hi Brian,</font><font size="5"> </font><font size="4"><br>
<br>
The WMS Service URL for TNM Large Scale Imagery is: "</font><a href="http://raster.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/services/TNM_Large_Scale_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?"><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF">http://raster.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/services/TNM_Large_Scale_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?</font></u></a><font size="4">".</font><font size="5"> </font><font size="4"><br>
<br>
For future reference when adding a WMS into ArcMap, use the "OnlineResource" link but include a "?" at the end, such as the example in </font><a href="http://raster.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/services/TNM_Large_Scale_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS"><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF">http://raster.nationalmap.gov/ArcGIS/services/TNM_Large_Scale_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS</font></u></a><font size="4">.

I am trying to load NAIP into ArcMAP as a WMS:<br>

So I Click on the Large Imagery and get this:</font><font size="4"><br>

SO WHAT WMS HTTP ADDRESS AM I SUPPOSED TO USE TO GET IT INTO ARCMAP?</font><font size="4"><br>
