  • 1.  WMS maps of Ireland

    Posted 08-22-2023 09:51

    Hi,

    Are there any free resources that I can open as a WMS for Ireland? Ideally aerial images, but failing that, just a map will do.

    Many thanks,

    Steve

    Hi Steve

    Within MapInfo Pro, you have access to Bing Hybrid, Bing Aerial, and the three versions of Precisely Maps.

    Bing Roads require the MapInfo Pro Premium or Bing Maps upgrade.
    The other two Bing maps require you to be on maintenance and install the yearly Bing patch. The three Precisely maps require you to create a free account from within MapInfo Pro.
    You can also use the Google Maps Tile Services but according to this thread on StackOverflow, that violates their license agreement.

    Hi Peter,

    We have a maintenance contract. We seem to have MI Pro Raster.

    My Open drop-down shows GeoMap options rather than Precisely (see image). I'm being asked to log into Pitney Bowes to load these. The internal Services sign up page has PB listed (also see image).

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi Steve

    You need to get upgraded to a newer version of MapInfo Pro.

    We moved off the Pitney Bowes some time ago and earlier this year we also made some changes to our login page. We posted two new versions of MapInfo Pro v2019 and v2021 to support these changes.

    You can read more about it here and also find links for downloading the latest version: MapInfo Pro Security Updates
