Loading a WMS xml file

[Colin Mazengarb]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to load the attached file (and in this text) a supposed WMS xml file but get an error saying this is not a wms file. I am experienced in doing this process normally so something is wrong here.

If you look at the text file it is intended to be a wms format although in reality it is a wrapper around an xyz web service. I have tried using the xyz URL directly without success . If anyone has any experience with these and can spot any obvious error, please let me know.

BTW this is a NZ dataset.

cheers

Colin

Hi Colin,

Unfortunately the Mapspast web services have been down for a while :-(

The direct xyz is http://au.mapspast.org.nz/3857/nzms260-1999/{z}/{x}/{y}.png but that is returning an error message as well. You can download individual georeferenced historic sheets (geoTIFF) from https://geodatahub.library.auckland.ac.nz/gdr/#maps-nzms. Scroll down to 260 (or what ever series you are looking for)

If you are looking for historic imagery have a look at https://data.linz.govt.nz/data/category/aerial-photos/ (web services) and https://retrolens.co.nz/. There is also a STAC service at https://github.com/linz/imagery but unfortunately the QGIS STAC tool does not support LINZ Imagery repository at this point in time.

If you are looking for other historical NZ data feel free to reach out directly.
