Web Map Server
One of the reasons to use an application like uDig is to access all the great free geospatial information available on the web. This section covers the use of Web Map Servers which make available layers of information that you can mix into your own maps.
If you are not connected to the Internet run |osgeolive-appmenupath-geoserver| for a local WMS. The script will open a page with a "Service Capabilities" section and two links for WMS Services you can drag into your empty map.
You can copy a WMS URL (e.g. for `WMS 1.1.1`_) from right panel of `GeoServer Welcome page`_ and "paste" it either on the **Map** view or the **Layers** view. A wizard shows you the layers you can add to the **Map**. You can also connect to Web Map Servers using the **Add Data** (:menuselection:`Layer --> Add...`) Wizard and paste WMS URL right there.
Select :menuselection:`File --> New --> New Map` from the menu bar
Change to the **Web** view, click on the tab next to the **Catalog** view to reveal the *Web* view.
Click on the link ``WMS\:http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?Service=WMS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities``
From the Resource Selection page we are going to choose the following layers:
Elevation/Bathymetry
Parks
Cities
Press :guilabel:`Finish` to add these layers to your map
Use the |ZOOM| Zoom Tool to move closer to one of the Parks
Switch to the |INFO| Info Tool and click on one the parks to learn more about it

You can switch between the zoom and info tools by pressing `Z` and `I` on the keyboard.
