GeoBase WMS
Note: Some of this data is also available from CanVec and Toporama WMS
The current WMS offers to users an access to the 11 following GeoBase data layers.

These can be used as reference while mapping.
1. Canadian Digital Elevation Data 1:250,000
A complete coverage of Canada for the Canadian Digital Elevation Data (CDED) at the 1:250,000 scale. This layer is stored in the data warehouse ELEVATION/ELEVATION.
DNEC_250K:ELEVATION/ELEVATION The Canadian Digital Elevation Data consists of an ordered array of ground elevations at regularly spaced intervals and are based on the NTDB files at scale of 1:250000

3. National Road Network
A complete coverage of Canada for the 5 layers of the National Road Network. These layers are stored in the data warehouse RRN/NRN.
4. Landsat 7 Orthoimages
A complete coverage of Canada produced from Landsat 7 Orthoimages with 30 meter spatial resolution. This layer is stored in the data warehouse.
5. Control Points for Landsat 7 Imagery
A complete coverage of Canada for the 3 layers of the Control Points for Landsat 7 Imagery. These layers are stored in the data warehouse POINTS_CONTROLES/CONTROL_POINTS.

6. Canadian Geopolitical Boundaries
A complete coverage of Canada for the Canadian Geopolitical Boundaries. These layers are stored in the data warehouse CCT/CCRS.
7. Geonames
A partial coverage of Canada for Geonames of the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB). This layer is stored in the data warehouse NOMS_LIEUX/PLACE_NAMES.
8. Canadian Base Network
A complete coverage of the Canadian Base Network. This layer is stored in the data warehouse GEODESIE/GEODESY.
CBN1:GEODESIE/GEODESY Geodetic Markers from Geodetic Survey Division.
The Canadian Base Network, Level 1 (CBN1) is designed to serve as the new ground segment of monumented survey control in the Canadian Spatial Reference System (CSRS). The CBN1 is a network of pillar monuments with forced-centring plates, positioned three-dimensionally with GPS to centimetre-level accuracy with respect to the Canadian Active Control System (CACS). / Le niveau 1 du Réseau de base canadien (RBC1) est conçu de manière à servir de segment au sol du canevas, matérialisé par des repères, pour le Système canadien de référence spatiale (SCRS). Le RBC1 se compose de piliers géodésiques d'observation avec plaques à centrage forcé positionnés suivant les trois dimensions au moyen du GPS avec une exactitude de l'ordre du centimètre par rapport au Système canadien de contrôle actif (SCCA).

9. Primary Vertical Bench Mark
A complete coverage of Primary Vertical Bench Marks. This layer is stored in the data warehouse GEODESIE/GEODESY.
PVBMC1:GEODESIE/GEODESY The Primary Vertical Bench Marks, Canada, Level 1 (PVBMC1) are (approximately 80000) monuments established about every 2 km along major highways and railways across Canada. Elevations issued by the Geodetic Survey Division (GSD) are those based on the 1928 adjustment of the national levelling networks - Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum 1928 (CGVD28). / Le Réseau primaire de repères altimétriques, Canada, niveau 1 (RAPC1), est constitué d'environ 80 000 repères distribués à environ tous les 2 km le long des routes principales et des voies ferrées partout au Canada. Les altitudes diffusées par la Division des levés géodésiques(DLG) sont celles basées sur la compensation de 1928 des réseaux nationaux de nivellement - Système de référence géodésique du Canada de 1928 (CGVD28).
