Terraservice.Net DOQ data

[Brian Fischer]

Robert,

I use the TerrServer imagery quite a bit and here is what my layer file
looks like.  I will mention I had problems with using it with MapServer
4.4.1, so I ended up going back to 4.2.1 and it works fine.  I never
figured out why it wouldn't work in the 4.4.1, but someone did post that
there is a bug with WMS client in that version.  Also make sure you are
using a 24bit output image type, otherwise the images will not look that
great.

Greetings list...

I can never get anything but a blank image when trying
to incorporate terraservice.net DOQ imagery via WMS.
Could some kind soul look at my map file and give me
some hints?  Or, better yet, could someone provide an
example of a working map file?

Thanks,

Robert
