[Talk-us] TIGER fixup for Hurricane Harvey potential impact areas

[Clifford Snow]

Brian if I may - adding transparent=true on to the end of the URL will
allow the street layer to be transparent so satelite imagery can be used
along with the streets.

The URL would be
http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map&transparent=true

After selecting the layer using the Get Layers, change the image from
image/jpeg to image/png

Then you are good to go.
