Trouble contacting map servers
« on: January 24, 2014, 08:45:12 PM »
I can't seem to download any maps. I'm betting it's something to do with my firewall (Zone Alarm) but it I've given TopoFusion "Super Trust" so it should have full access to anything it wants.

Thoughts?

Have you added a map server to "Window / WMS Custom Servers"?  I was having some issues so I did a Google search for "WMS server Alaska" (my region), found a site with a published WMS server URL, put it in there and it took care of the erratic behavior.

I hadn't added any but when I checked there was a server msmaps.com that was UNchecked. Checked it and maps seem to be rolling in now.

Thanks for the hint!
