WMS (Web Map Service) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet that are generated by map servers using data from a GIS database. These are usually statistical maps that are mostly provided by government organizations (but also by many others). For more info, read this Wiki-Seite.

Locus-Karte offers a variety of worldwide sources that can be displayed or you can enter a direct URL to activate any WMS source you wish.

This option is fully available only to Locus Map Pro users.
