Topic 2.2.1: URL Syntax
- URL Syntax
 - The OpenGIS® Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from one or more distributed GEOSpatial databases. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area of interest to be processed. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images (returned as JPEG, PNG, etc.) that can be displayed in a browser application. You can use URL parameters to communicate with a WMS service in GISIZE GEOSpatial. For more information check the link http://www.open GEOSpatial .org/standards/wms
 - The online resource of each operation supported by a compliant WMS server is an HTTP uniform resource locator (URL), so a WMS service can be considered to be a Representational State Transfer (REST) service. Unlike a standard web service, a SOAP client is not necessary for consuming a WMS service, and a web browser is the simplest client. You can get a WMS service's map image by sending a URL request to the server and viewing the corresponding responses in the browser as either an XML document or an image.
 
When editing the URL of a custom online Map Provider the next wild cards are supported:
- {0}: Origin latitude
 - {1}: Origin longitude
 - {2}: Ending latitude
 - {3}: Ending longitude
 - {4}: Tile Width in pixels
 - {5}: Tile Height in pixels
 - {6}: Layers list
 - {7}: Zoom level
 - {8}: X position
 - {9}: Y position
