WMS server for geological data. Can see layer description but no actual data

[locuser]

Hi,

I'm trying to include geological layers provided by the GNS Science institution into Locus. The data can be used under creative commons (CC-BY 3.0).

Basic information about the provided data is given here: http://www.gns.cri.nz/Home/Our-Science/Earth-Science/Regional-Geology/Geological-Maps/1-250-000-Geological-Map-of-New-Zealand-QMAP/Digital-Data-and-Downloads

The front-end of the WMS server is found here: http://maps.gns.cri.nz/geology/web/

If I click on "WMS 1.3.0" capabilities (I do this in a standard browser) I get this XML-file: http://maps.gns.cri.nz/geology/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

Here I can see the address http://maps.gns.cri.nz:80/geology/ows?SERVICE=WMS&

When I add this adress as a new WMS server to Locus, I can access the list of provided layers and can select a particular layer.

Unfortunately when I switch back to the main screen of Locus, instead of the actual layer data I only get the message "unbekanntes Problem" (i.e. "unknown problem") as overlay on the base map.

To me the first steps look quite promising since I can see the information about the provided layers. Am I missing something which prevents the successful integration of the layer data?

Thanks & best regards!

Hello,

thank you for a precise description of your problem. I'm testing it and it took me a while to display single map layer as I do not know map data. Only layer that is working for me I've found after a while is selected "NZL_GNS_250k_geologic units" (almost in the end of list). When zoomed to level 8, it display nice geological map.

Unfortunately I never saw message you wrote "Unknown problem". Are you using latest 3.14.1 version of Locus?

Hi,

yes, I'm using the latest Locus version.

I can confirm your observations - now it works for me as well! One of those days...

Let me take the opportunity to thank you again for the wonderful work you are doing, not to forget the incredibly fast response on issues posted in the forum. I'm using Locus now since about 4 years and nothing else comes close to its versatility with various data sources.

Thanks!

Hello,

glad to hear it and you are welcome . Anyway to your maps - what about other layers? Should there be something visible? I wasn't testing it in any GIS app, but if Locus do not work correctly with any map or layer, let me know. I'm still not 100% sure about WMS implementation in Locus so there still may be some problems.

Have a nice day.
