[GRASS-dev] Is r.in.wms actually working? (Italian territory example)

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer

Hi,

I was trying to check if r.in.wms works on G7. I’ve tried to download from the pcn [1] but it seems not working, anyone has experienced this?
BTW, I’ve tried also the examples from the manual page:

r.in.wms url=http://irs.gis-lab.info layers=osm output=osm format=png

Downloading data from WMS server…
ERROR: Unable to fetch capabilities from: ‘http://irs.gis-lab.info’

and

r.in.wms url=http://watzmann-geog.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/cached/osm layers=osm_auto:all output=osm format=png
Downloading data from WMS server…

Takes forever, and when I try to kill it with Ctrl + C it doesn’t respond…

I would like to know if anyone of you has an example which is working for the Italian territory.

Thank you,
Madi

Thank you Rashad, it was simply slow, now managed to download with:

r.in.wms url=http://watzmann-geog.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/cached/osm layers=osm_auto:all output=osm format=png

The other OSM example on the manual page is yet not working for me, maybe should be changed/removed?

cheers,
madi

You may need to verify the g.region settings!

Well, I have added them recently (provided by Stepan) :slight_smile: They worked
nicely. Please check g.region first.
But I fully agree that a reasonable g.region setting should be added to
the examples.

btw, Stepan recently implemented experimental support for WMS in wxGUI [1].

same region.

Hi,

2013/2/2 Rashad M <mohammedrashadkm@gmail.com>:

r.in.wms mapserver=http://watzmann-geog.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/cached/osm
layers=osm_auto:all output=osm format=png srs=900913

from this command (parameter 'mapserver' has been renamed to 'url') I
guess that you have old version of r.in.wms. Please update your
installation.

All three of the services listed (NASA and 2 OSM) give: “Unable to connect”.
It would be nice to have the possibility to expand a window showing the result of the “verbose” mode, in order to understand the problem.

Thanks
