To create a WMS Data source in your account, you will need to connect an external service. Follows those steps to connect layers in a WMS Data source from Canadian Toporama web services:
WMS: http://wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_en
- Click on [+] menu from main bar menu (right side)
- Select « Data connection »
- Click on « WMS » icon then click Next button.
- Give a name and past WMS URL in « Online-Ressource » field
- Click on [Browse] to select your layers
- In this layer selector, you can select more than one layer by clicking the first empty field selector
- Add « Limits » layer and other if needed. Then click on « Add » button
- You don't need to do more for now. Simply click on « Connect »
- Select your WMS Data Source and click on « Create Map » icon to view data (extreme right)
Be aware that the WMS must support Web Mercator projection (EPSG:3857) projection to make it work. If a WMS didn't support this projection, you will not be able to view data from it. To get this information, open a GetCapabilities query in your browser and find supported projection:
[WMS_URL]+ ?service=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
