If you are looking for free gis data start with google free gis data I think you may want to look at OpenLayers where you can create an application that uses Google maps or OSM services as a base map and then all you to overlay other data layers on top of that. Look at http://openlayers.com/ If you really are asking how to pull OSM or Google into mapserver, instead of OpenLayers, then you will need to extract the OSM data into data layers and create a mapfile to render it in mapserver OR find an existing WMS service that you can pull OSM images into mapserver. You can not do this with Google it violates their TOS. -Steve W ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] wms base layers
For a simple example of OSM data, running on OpenSuse rather than Ubuntu, with the Oceania OSM data, try http://121.73.69.119/osm_nz.html Might help you decide if this is worth following up for your purposes.
