Web Map Service - Overlay WMS Layer to Google Map

Add WMS Layer using Google Maps JavaScript API v3 - 

The following wms layer example demonstrates how to overlay web map service (WMS) layer into Google Maps API v3. Let say we have GIS Data Set in MapInfo .Tab format (.tab), ShapeFile (.shp), Postgis spatial data and MapServer Configuration File (.Map) and make sure you have MapServer installed in your machine. 

So in this blog post I would like to share wms layer example to overlay GIS layer using Google Maps API v3, WMS MapServer, in ASP.net web application. Find the code below :-

    1. this code is working perfectly, make sure you have done all the configuration/installation like map file/data(.tab) file/map server/apache server.

  2. Thank you for the helpful overview. Do you have an approach to add WMS but for generating a Google Static Map?

    1. You're welcome Mr. Bob.. :)

      No you can't genereate a Google static map, actually the biggest problem is accessing tiles offline. It's illegal to store tiles of google maps. You should consider openlayers openlayers.org/dev/examples/offline-storage.html with open street map.

  3. GREAT!!!! I finally found the code that worked. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! You gave me life! :D
