[Qgis-user] WMS Image Projection

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the reply, I'll try to clarify:

 1. Version is 3.16.4
 2. The two municipal sources are being viewed in their own web windows
    and are displaying the same data
     1. They are the source of the property lines for my GIS (downloaded
        shapefile) and the orthophoto (WMS link, not resident TIFF or other)
 3. The property lines are EPSG:3157 - NAD83(CSRS) / UTM zone 10N -
    Projected, and from the municipal source.  I've attached the
    shapefile if you have the time.
 4. In QGIS, the ortho is loaded from the WMS source
     1. https://mapservices.crd.bc.ca/arcgis/services/OrthoImagery2019/MapServer/WMSserver
     2. EPSG:26910 - NAD83 / UTM zone 10N - Projected
 5. The project CRS is EPSG: 26910 but it doesn't seem to change
    anything by changing that or the source projections (at least within
    versions of NAD83 UTM Zone 10N)
 6. Thus, the same information displays differently online /versus/ in QGIS.
     1. The shift seems to be 1.5 m +/-, quite a lot for what I'm trying
        to do (building permit with tight setbacks).
     2. These are commonly used projections for our neck of the woods
     3. The two images I sent earlier depict the differences; in QGIS,
        earlier orthophotos show a similar or worse displacement. Not so
        on the municipal web viewer.
 7. I've read up on projections in the tutorial and Help file, no
    revelations there, at least that I could see.

Thanks very much for any thoughts you may have.

Cheers, Spring
