Necessary programs
Even if the adress of a WMS looks like a normal internet adress (URL), it is not intended for use in a browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.). To visualize a WMS, you need a compatible program:
- Google Earth, ESRI ArcGIS Explorer, etc.,
- Internet mapping application with WMS-Importer.
The product list of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) shows the currently registered WMS programs.
