WMS tile server error

#1 Post by martinvk »

Using my brand new TransDEM 2.6.3, I connected to the Canadian WMS server and started a download. I keep getting an "Internal Server Error" message and the download stops after 56 PNG files. Selected only 160 map clippings (using a simplified track route otherwise it's too complex).
The WMS setting are imported from the file that came with TransDEM.

Is it me or are the servers tired?

Some web servers have built-in throttling. So this might happen.

The alternative for Canada is the 1:50000 CanMatrix, same scale as Toporama, but more details. However, you need to download sheet by sheet and clip the margins (unlike USGS GeoPDF, these don't heave the "neat line" pre-set, so you need to adjust the TransDEM cropping mask manually).

This is one option to obtain CanMatrix:
