[Talk-ca] GeoBase Web Mapping Service (WMS)

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all, I remember on the talk list, one challenge was about WMS server.

>  Hey kid, want a WMS server?  GeoBase has aerial imagery for us.  In some places

Perhaps, im a little hard of hearing. :0) Im not exactly sure what is meant
by that.  I was just looking at
http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/wms/index.html
So I added it to the wiki page.

Does this mean that Geobase can host the data, and the WMS plugin can get
the data direct from GeoBase?
How does the yahoo imagery get onto Openstreetmap? .. does OpenStreetMap
have then a copy of all the satalite images?  So when new yahoo images are
available, they need to be copied onto OpenStreetMap servers?

Please explain if you can, so the lay people can understand :)

Thanks,
Sam

P.S. i haven't figured out how to get the yahoo imagery plugin working for
JOSM yet. .. hopefully tommorrow, i'll figure it out. :)
