Re: [mapserver-users] KML output 6.4.2
Great, keep us all in the loop with how it goes. You'll find that using the WFS outputformat for KML/KMZ works very well, as it is passed through the OGR driver; I'm not aware of many using WMS for KML/KMZ output. But yes, I imagine if you travel down that path you may eventually hit my same issue from 2011 :) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 2016-10-19 9:29 AM, Moisan, Yves (EC) wrote: Hi Jeff, Thanx for the info. There may be something missing in the mapfile, I'll double check. WFS is not an option for me. I need a element that points to a GetMap request for each layer.

Re: [mapserver-users] KML output 6.4.2
Hi Yves! Not sure if this helps, but...I remember testing KMZ output through WMS (in 2011), and I had found an issue with the output coordinates and had filed a ticket: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3928 Note that I just now dug up that old sample mapfile and data and added the working link at the bottom of that old ticket. -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 2016-10-18 5:45 PM, Moisan, Yves (EC) wrote: Hi All, Haven’t been here in a while … I’m striving to find out how to either query MS or run a command to generate a KML document ready to be ingested by Google Earth.
