[Geomoose-users] Adding every layer from an ArcGIS WMS Server?

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

Thank you everyone for your help

Through a process I eventually went back to MapServer and Tile Indexes that proved to be a much better solution.   See http://www.mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html for an example



If anyone cares to use ArcGIS I would recommend creating a layer group.  I chose not to use ArcGIS because if was getting a blank image when I used source=wms, and pink tiles with source=ags.  I am curious as to why the ArcGIS service was slow on this application.






Sincerely,
Mark Volz, GISP
