Hi all, I've just discovered you can add VicMap, Victoria's open data licensed authoritative mapping service, into Potlatch 2. It's not at all obvious how, so here's the answer: In "Background", click "Edit" then add: http://whoots.mapwarper.net:80/tms/$z/$x/$y/WEB_MERCATOR/http://api.maps.vic.gov.au/geowebcacheWM/service/wms?VERSION=1.1.1&TILED=true To explain: - Vicmap provides an "API" which is basically a weird forked version of OpenLayers: http://api.maps.vic.gov.au/index.php/developers-resources/javascript-api - Digging through that you can find their actual WMS endpoint, which is http://api.maps.vic.gov.au/vicmapapi/map/wms - Except, that data is in EPSG 3111 projection, rather than the web standard EPSG 3857. Their documentation says that EPSG 3857 will be available by the "end of August 2013", then no more info about it: http://api.maps.vic.gov.au/index.php/product-information/projections-sacles/web-mercator - Anyway it turns out the EPSG 3857 projection is available at http://api.maps.vic.gov.au/geowebcacheWM/service/wms (I assume the WM stands for 'web mercator', aka EPSG 3857) - But still, it's only provided as a WMS service, which isn't directly supported by Potlatch 2. That's why you need to use the whoots.mapwarper.net <http://whoots.mapwarper.net> proxying service which converts WMS to web tiles. Enjoy.
