WMS Get Feature Info

A Web Map Service (WMS) layer makes requests to a server that provides georeferenced images. These are then displayed in Mapworks alongside other layers.

Unlike vector layers which can be left-clicked to retrieve information, information for WMS layers need to be retrieved by perform a "Get Feature Info" request to the server along with the clicked coordinates. The server then returns the data associated with that location.
