Hi,
I’m looking to add support for displaying country boundaries and labels on top of the Google Photorealistic Tiles. The Bing Maps Raster Overlay is achieving what I’m after but Bing Maps will discontinue so don’t really see that as an option moving forward.
I’ve tried to use the Cesium Web Map Service Raster Overlay but can’t seem to get it to work with any WMS service I’ve tried. Is there an example with a freely available resource to use as an example?
Thanks, Jake

We expect to provide a migration path to Azure Maps, so I don’t think you should let that deter you if it otherwise meets your needs.

I’ve successfully used it with the WMS server in this CesiumJS Sandcastle example:
I don’t have the exact settings I used handy, though I don’t there there really should be any major surprises.
Yes we managed to get it working with this endpoint:

Thanks fpor your input.
Are there any other ways to overlay data or is raster image the only way currently?
Raster overlays are the only way to “drape” things over the surface. You can of course also create normal Unreal objects within the world as a sort of overlay.
