It's a public provincial government server and they're providing a proprietary REST format, but not open standard WMS or WFS when it's fully supported by the server software they're using? Yikes. I've never tried this myself, but if you don't need live data in your MapGuide server and have

Right - it's still in beta, so maybe they'll add some other standards...but right now, no such luck. I've had success in getting these layers to show up in Quantum GIS, which I'm assuming is using that reader/writer. To get the data in there, I just create a new

Title: GEMTEC Email Signature That's the idea, yes. But it's not my server that's outputting that Rest data, so I don't have the option of WMS or WFS...since the ArcGIS server's not my server, I've got to work with what they provide. Is there any way to get json data into
