Thank you; this is a better possibility than I was trying to do. The providers.xml option wasn't in the menu, but this method is similar to what I had done in MobAC and more explicit than just adding a URL. I was able to make it work, so it solved my problem; but, as a matter of fact, I still wonder how you can do it by the URL only or in what case you need that.

Not needed ... Locus is fully featured WMS browser, so no need to give it some improved URL address.

Read manual here: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:maps_wms . What you need is just an url to GetCapabilities configuration.

Thank you for the reply, but what do you mean? I had read that manual page and searched in the forum, but the only thing about what I need it says is "launches a dialog to enter your WMS link manually", which doesn't help much. The dialogue only consists in an input field for a http link. But links are different for different websites and you need to specify where Locus should put the zoom and the variables for the WMS tiles. I want to add a website that Locus doesn't have, so I have to set it manually. Compare to what you do in MobAC, where the mapsources use a syntax like {$z}, {$x}, {$y} for the software to insert the respective variables for tiles.
So, do you know what syntax to use for the tile variables in an custom URL, so that it makes sense to Locus?

how to add own WMS map? But for this is "plus" button on bottom of WMS page in Locus. Application for WMS maps without ability to ad down maps should be funny <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

I looked for the syntax on how to add your own WMS server, but I couldn't find it. Can anyone help? If you have the URL, I guess you should give it to Locus so that it can replace the position of the tiles and the zoom level with variables.
