[Freegis-list] free software vs. free services

[Allan Doyle]

There are a number of organizations supplying free services, at least
when it comes to OGC WMS implementations. There are many that are
known to specific communities that are perhaps not ready to be pounded
on by the general public. However, there are some that have been quite
openly advertised. These would include

http://www2.demis.nl/mapserver/Mapper.asp
http://www.cubewerx.com/demo/cubeview/cubeview.cgi

In both cases, you can find the entry point to the WMS by doing a
"view image" on the map and looking at the resulting map URL.

You can also find some nifty embeddable tools at
http://ceonet.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/cs/en/index.html that let you add maps
and gazetteers to your web site.
