On our server gis.slu.se we have some connection files for WMS services provided by Lantmäteriet and Sjöfartsverket. To add a new connection to a WMS map service in QGIS do the following.

 

Click Layer > Add Layer > Add WMS/WMTS Layer, or click the icon.

 

 

Click the Load button.

 

 

 

Select the connection file from our gis server, \\gis.slu.se\gisdata\lm\webServices\Qgis

 

 

 

 

Select the connection(s) you want to use and click Import.

 

 

 

Select the imported connection from the drop down list and click Connect.

 

 

 

Any layer in the connection will be displayed.

NOTE: The WMS services from Lantmäteriet have limited access. You have to connect from a computer on the SLU network, or via a VPN connection​.

 

Select the layer you want.

 

Select image encoding, PNG usually displays well.

 

If you want to open the layer in another coordinate system click the Change button and select from the list.

 

Click the Add button. 

 

Repeat if you want more layers…
