Hiking in the Bavarian Alps with these maps worked fine for me!

Solved but left for others with same problem.

ReinhardE,
I installed the 1.2.4 binary and proj, but there seems to be a dissconnect somewhere. The BBOX values are all zero. here is how my WMS string look like in mapper and when it is sent out:

(from firewall log)

I don't have the GPS on me right now, and the only thing that comes to mind is that you are taking the coordinates form the GPS and not the screen position.
If I plugin the cordinates from mapper area and put it in a browser, I get and image like this one

http://www.terraserver-usa.com/Ogcma...eptions=se_xml.

Any Ideas why the %.6f in mapper are not converted.

------------------------------------------------------------

Never mind I looked at your patch and saw that you use string SERVICES=WMS(was mising from URI) to recognize WMS URI.
But I noticed that the maximum zoom is equal to Google but terra server provides higher res available on sat images, like this one

http://www.terraserver-usa.com/OgcWm...eptions=se_xml.

Is there a way to get something like this on mapper
