[Geomoose-users] WMS not working

[Paul Wickman]

Yes, it is possible.  Just like other GIS/web mapping tools, the map
display itself is set to be in a certain projection. Any source data (in
this case WMS imagery) that is not in that coordinate system must be
re-projected.  In the GeoMoose world this typically happens in one of two
places; either in GeoMoose itself (where the web browser does the
re-projection) or in MapServer.

In the later case, MapServer essentially acts as a WMS proxy. You would
configure GeoMoose to use MapServer as the WMS source.  MapServer in turn
is configured with a layer, which pulls from the "real" WMS server.
 MapServer re-projects that data and punts it back in the native projection
that GeoMoose expects.

Typically, if I want to pull in layers that are in multiple different
projects I let MapServer do the heavy lifting in this manner.  I have
played around with letting GeoMoose deal with multiple projections, but
frankly I find it to be slower and just generally a bit more troublesome to
configure and debug.  Others on the list may have a different experience.

Hope that clears things up rather than making them murkier ;)
