Success! :) It was that "imageSR" had to be set, as it doesn't seem to be deduced from the map: ======================================== basemap_url = "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Physical_Map/MapServer/export?\ bbox=%d,%d,%d,%d&\ bboxSR=4326&\ imageSR=4326&\ size=800,600&\ dpi=128&\ format=png32&\ f=image" % (lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2) \ ======================================== Result with coastlines overlay attached! Jeff, I think it is easy to make this function to Basemap class, but I'm not confident doing it. If you can make it, I'll then try to use it as template and pair it to other available webservices Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
