Introduction
The goal of this project is to use freely available Web Map Service (WMS) layers with OpenLayers to create a dynamic map for use within a web browser. In particular, the hope was to include a land use layer for Canada, and the user could browse to a desired location to determine how the land is being used. If the user knows the coordinates of the place they want to view, they can modify the source code by entering the chosen longitude, latitude, and zoom level. Then when loading the map the images will be centered within the map window. For the following example, only GeoBase and Toporama WMS layers are used, and they can be accessed at no cost and without restrictions.
