Mineral Resources Tasmania

Web map service

Mineral Resources Tasmania has an OGC web map service for connecting to images of Tasmanian geoscientific data. Web Map Services (WMS) use specified standards and allow web map information to be requested using URLs and returned as images that can be displayed in web browsers or desktop applications. The capabilities link below provides information on how to access individual data layers and can be copied and pasted into a desktop application. This service has been tested successfully with ArcGIS 9.2 Build 1324, MapInfo 9.0.2 and UDIG 1.1 RC14.
