[edit] WMS servers
By adding the following text block to the end of %world wind install folder%\Config\Earth\Tools\wms_server_list.xml file before the </WMS_SERVER_LIST> tag you can get access to additional WMS servers.

[edit] Additional lists
[edit] Set up your own server
It is relatively easy to set up a WMS server, so that you and others can view the data through WorldWind (and indeed a variety of other applications). GeoServer is very easy to set up and configure, while MapServer currently has the best performance.
[edit] WMS request format
A URL may look like this:
http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetMap&layers=global_mosaic_base&srs=EPSG:4326&width=512&height=512&bbox=-5,45,5,55&format=image/jpeg&version=1.1.0&styles=
and split into parameters togther with corresponding xml tag:
| http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi | <ServerGetMapUrl> |
| ?request=GetMap | no tag there is nothing else World Wind will do |
| &layers=global_mosaic_base | <WMSLayerName> |
| &srs=EPSG:4326 | no tag World Wind only supports EPSG:4326 |
| &width=600 | <TextureSizePixels> |
| &height=600 | <TextureSizePixels> |
| &bbox=-5,45,5,55 | <BoundingBox> and <North> and ..... |
| &format=image/jpeg | <ImageFileExtension> and <ImageFormat> |
