If you want to find a server, use the server URL or a server URL search string with

wmsfind to search for layers provided by the server or servers. Then use the servers

method of the WMSLayer object to obtain the server or server URLs:

layers = wmsfind(urlSearchString, 'SearchField', 'serverurl')

servers = layers.servers

The following specific updates have been made to the WMS Database since the last

release:

• 19 new WMS servers from the USGS National Map Server. These servers provide

ortho-imagery, land cover, scanned topo maps, and shaded relief layers. Search

for the layers and servers using the urlSearchString 'isse.cr.usgs.gov' or

'nationalmap.gov'.
