 ===== 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 GIS databases. These maps or map data layers are mostly provided by government organizations or education institutions (but also by many others). For more info, read this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service|Wiki page]]. WMS maps are managed in the **WMS tab of Locus map manager**.
