WMS servers
By adding the following text block to the end of %world wind install folder%\Config\Earth\Tools\wms_server_list.xml
file before the </WMS_SERVER_LIST>
tag you can get access to additional WMS servers.
<Server> <Name>JPL World Map Service</Name> <ServerUrl>http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi</ServerUrl> <Version>1.1.1</Version> <Abstract>WMS Server maintained by JPL, worldwide satellite imagery.</Abstract> </Server> <Server> <Name>Delaware 2002 Aerial Imagery WMS Service</Name> <ServerUrl>http://datamil.delaware.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/DE_aerial02</ServerUrl> <Version>1.1.1</Version> <Abstract>Delaware 2002 Aerial Imagery</Abstract> </Server> <Server> <Name>Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management, British Columbia, Canada</Name> <ServerUrl>http://libcwms.gov.bc.ca/wmsconnector/com.esri.wsit.WMSServlet/ogc_layer_service</ServerUrl> <Version>1.1.1</Version> <Abstract>British Columbia data</Abstract> </Server> <Server> <Name>GMS Remote Sensing Image Server</Name> <ServerUrl>http://www.hondalab.star.ait.ac.th/cgi-bin/thaiwms?</ServerUrl> <Version>1.1.1</Version> <Abstract>GMS Landsat 5 Image</Abstract> </Server>

Set up your own server
It is relatively easy to set up a WMS server, so that you and others can view the data through WorldWind (and indeed a variety of other applications). GeoServer is very easy to set up and configure, while MapServer currently has the best performance.
WMS request format
A URL may look like this:
http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetMap&layers=global_mosaic_base&srs=EPSG:4326&width=512&height=512&bbox=-5,45,5,55&format=image/jpeg&version=1.1.0&styles=
and split into parameters togther with corresponding xml tag:
http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi | <ServerGetMapUrl> |
?request=GetMap | no tag there is nothing else World Wind will do |
&layers=global_mosaic_base | <WMSLayerName> |
&srs=EPSG:4326 | no tag World Wind only supports EPSG:4326 |
&width=600 | <TextureSizePixels> |
&height=600 | <TextureSizePixels> |
&bbox=-5,45,5,55 | <BoundingBox> and <North> and ..... |
&format=image/jpeg | <ImageFileExtension> and <ImageFormat> |
&version=1.1.0 | <Version> |
&styles= |
