[Cartoweb-users] Is it possible to use Mapserver mode=tile

[Oliver Christen]

I dont know how to do that. As far as I know one cant access Virtual Earth 
data via wms, maybe you know another way to get the Virtual Earth data ?

otherwise maybe have a look at more recent project/technologies like 
openlayers/mapfish which have a better support for tiled data sources 
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/ve.html
