-----
-===== About =====
-**WMS** (Web Map Service) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet that are generated by map servers using data from a **GIS database**. These are usually statistical maps that are mostly provided by government organizations (but also by many others). For more info, read this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service|Wiki page]].
-**Locus Map** offers a variety of worldwide sources that can be displayed or you can enter a direct URL to activate any WMS source you wish.
-<wrap info>This option is fully available only to Locus Map Pro users.</wrap>
-===== Displaying WMS Maps =====
-Choose **WMS tab** in the Maps Manager (the tab can be switched off so select {{:manual:user_guide:ic_more_ver_black.png?nolink&30|}}//Action menu > Visible tabs// and check WMS). The tab is empty after the Locus Map installation so you need to tell Locus Map which WMS source to display by tapping buttons in the **Action bar**:
-  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_recommended_alt.png?direct&30|}} displays a list of **recommended WMS sources**. The best way how to begin with WMS. Just select and tap //Add to Locus//.
-  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_add_alt.png?direct&30|}} launches a dialog to enter your **WMS link manually**.
-<wrap important>WMS maps display always in an overlay above your active map (online or offline).
-</wrap>
-When you launch a WMS source a **list of available layers** and a **opacity slider** appears - select layers to display, adjust their visibility above the active map and confirm. <wrap important>
-Be aware that not all layers are visible in all places and in all zoom levels.
-</wrap>
-The WMS source appears in your **Maps Manager WMS tab** in a folder named by its provider. **Long tap** at a source displays an **information window** about the source provider, author, contacts, possible fees and further description.
-{{ :manual:user_guide:wms.png?nolink |}}
-**Action menu** at the WMS source provides following:
-  *  **Details** - information window mentioned above
-  *  **WMS Layers** - available layers in the source
-  *  **Center Map** - centering the map at the screen center of your phone in case your position is outside the map
-  *  **Re-initialize map** - reloads required information from WMS server and sets the map to default values
-  *  **Disable** - hides selected WMS layers in the map
-  *  **Delete** - deletes the WMS source from the list
-===== WMS Map Screen =====
-After a WMS map display two new control buttons appear in the upper left corner:
-  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_wms_layers_alt.png?nolink&30|}} displays the **opacity slider** and **active WMS layers list** - check or un-check layers to display or hide.
-  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_wms_get_feature_info_alt.png?nolink&30|}} displays a **particular WMS feature information** - aim the screen center at a WMS object on the map and tap the button. In case the object contains some additional information it displays in a pop-up window.
-===== WMS Maps Sources=====
-{{ :manual:user_guide:wms2.png?nolink |}}
-**Locus Map** supports WMS specification versions **1.1.1, 1.3.0**
-<WRAP round alert>
-Current WMS support does not have any mechanism for tile caching. All data are stored only in your device's **temporary memory**.
-</WRAP>
-Recommended **[[manual:user_guide:maps_wms:wms_list|WMS Map Sources List >>]]**
-<WRAP round tip>
-Use //Add to Locus// links directly in your phone web browser (access to this page is also from your **Locus Map Manager WMS tab**).
