[GIS] Google Earth WMS fails

google earthwms

I try to insert a WMS but Google Earth says WMS capability failed.
This is the WMS:
https://ccff02.minfin.fgov.be/geoservices/arcgis/services/WMS/Cadastral_Layers/MapServer/WMSServer

I know it is a 1.3.0 WMS server, could that be the issue?

Best Answer

This may be more of an extended comment than answer but, Google Earth is correct in identifying that the WMS 1.3.0 service is giving an invalid response.

For example, the name of the service cannot be <Name>CadastralLayers</Name> for a WMS 1.3.0 response it must be <Name>WMS</Name>

Also the MinScaleDenominator and MaxScaleDenominator in all the layers are in the wrong order, that is the service has:

<MaxScaleDenominator>9449.404762</MaxScaleDenominator>
<MinScaleDenominator>0.944940</MinScaleDenominator>

but it needs to be:

<MinScaleDenominator>0.944940</MinScaleDenominator>
<MaxScaleDenominator>9449.404762</MaxScaleDenominator>
