TerraServer supports a Tiling Web Service that enables our
users to build applications on their computer systems that integrate with USGS
imagery found on our web site. If you are unfamiliar with Web Services, you can
download our Web Service white paper and learn about
the TerraServer web service.
Start with TerraService
Documentation to learn how to program using the TerraService web
service.
The
Sample Map Server is an application based on the Microsoft TerraService
.NET Web Service. Use it as example of what you can do using the TerraService
tiling methods.
TerraServer supports OpenGIS Web Map standards. Visit the OpenGIS
Map Server based on Version 1.1.1 of the OGC Web Map Server
specification.
Our OpenGIS Web Map Server now supports dynamic reprojection of USGS DOQ and
DRG data from UTM NAD83 to Geographic projection (EPSG:4326)! New styles have
been added to draw gridlines in a number of different colors.
Click here to view a web map that contains DOQ imagery from two UTM
zones reprojected to Geographic. The image displays the UTM coordinates in
Cyan. The location is New Orleans, Louisiana.

Server's GetCapabilities XML document.
Access the TerraService WSDL file.
If you have Visual Studio.NET, you can reference this file using the Web
References item found on the Project menu.
Access the LandmarkService WSDL
file. The LandmarkService contains methods to access the geo-location
(longitude and latitude) of well known places such as schools, golf courses,
hospitals, etc. You can use LandmarkService methods and TerraService methods
together to build layered maps.
This web site and services are running the released versions of
VS.NET 2003 and .NET Framework 1.1. The
About .NET web site contains more information about .NET technologies.
