A Web Map Service (WMS) is an interface that lets a user access geospatial data, maps, and comprehensive information about certain features that are displayed on the map. Rather than the actual geospatial data, a “map” is described here as a visual depiction of such data. A web map service can create maps as images, collections of graphics, or packaged sets of geographic feature data. It can respond to simple questions about a map’s detail, and it allows us to know what maps it is capable of producing and which ones can be queried more deeply. Here in article you can Add View WMS Layer Online on your Map.

The chosen WMS layer can be published and displayed on the base map. Users have the option to add additional layers from the same WMS file by clicking the “Add another layer” button. Additionally, users can incorporate another WMS file by selecting the “Add another WMS” button. These straightforward steps allow users to effortlessly view and analyze both single and multiple-layered WMS files on the IGISMap website.
