[Qgis-community-team] Looking for a reliable free with global data wms service to mention as example in the docs

[DelazJ]

Re,

I also came across those not working urls in the training manual (
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/training_manual/online_resources/wms.html#basic-ty
):
- http://196.33.85.22/cgi-bin/ZAF_CGS_Bedrock_Geology/wms
- http://ogc.gbif.org:80/wms

Thanks,
Harrissou
