[Geomoose-users] WMS not working

Wed Jul 3 14:06:57 PDT 2013

One projection in GeoMoose is a good thing.  MapServer is much better at handling any reprojection needs.  The exception to that is GeoMoose can do a fairly good job re-projecting vector points which is useful to send a search query to an outside service that doesn't understand your 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.

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.

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.

I was looking at adding aerials that were originally in Dakota County Coordinates and in UTM coordinates.  Before I get to far into this I should find out if that is even possible or not.
