Pick the relevant layer from the drop down box: e.g. OS miniscale.

Finally you should pick a co-ordinate system for the map to come back in.

Two of the most commonly used co-ordinate systems will be EPSG: 4326

for decimal degrees of latitude and longitude and EPSG: 27700 for UK

national grid.

It is possible to specify further WMS options, such as multiple layers,

image formats and transparency by clicking the ‘Advanced’ button. This
