WMS Records
To add, edit, and remove records of Web Map Services in a current job.
The dialog displays the list of the Web Map Services, from where the application can download the selected layers (see Conditions for downloading an image from WMS). The downloaded layers are saved in the application's cache memory. The coordinate system of the images is WGS-84, the coordinate type is Lat / Lon / H.
MAGNET Field also offers several predefined map background services that can be configured in the Map Background dialog accessible from the Backgnd tab of the Map Properties dialog.
This dialog allows you to:
- Add - click the button to open the Add / Edit WMS dialog and add required data for a new WMS record.
- Edit - click the button to open the Add / Edit WMS dialog and modify required data for an existing WMS record.
- Delete - click the button to delete the selected WMS record from the list. Click Yes to confirm deletion or No to cancel. The Map dialog still displays the map image(s) from the deleted WMS record until the image is stored in the application’s cache.
- Clear Cache - click the button to delete all downloaded images from the WMS records in the application’s cache memory. Click Yes to confirm deletion or click No to cancel. If the corresponding WMS record remains in the dialog but all map images are deleted from the application’s cache, the application will start downloading the images from the WMS record again. The amount of occupied cache memory for downloaded WMS images is shown in the Total tiles cache size: field.
