Hi, You are reading the right document. Take the onearth_global_mosaic example and modify the xml file to use server http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0 and layer "basic" and then you will soon get an image like this http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&WIDTH=459&HEIGHT=351&LAYERS=basic&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&BBOX=-180.0,-137.64705882352942,180.0,137.64705882352942&SRS=EPSG:4326&STYLES= with gdal_translate as in the example. By the way, OSGeo is running a misconfigured ancient MapServer 5.6.5 with a wrong OnlineResource as can be seen http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0 Using the advertised URL gives an error msLoadMap(): Unable to access file.
