This guide explains how to create a WMS layers library in Emlid Flow 360 to add layers to your projects.

Overview​

In Emlid Flow 360, you can load WMS layers from web map services, create your own WMS layers library linked to your Emlid Account, and add WMS layers from it to the projects. The use of WMS layers in projects allows you to get visual control and context of your survey area.

To add a WMS layer to the library, you need only a URL from the web map service—type or paste a link, and Emlid Flow 360 will load the list of available layers. After that, you can add the loaded layers to any of your projects in Emlid Flow 360.

note

You can add layers to your library and projects only in Emlid Flow 360.
