[fusion-users] RE: Fusion 2.0/MapServer & Units

[Berdel, Brian]

I did not experience your exact situation, but I tested with Mapguide and the measure tool is not working properly for me either.

Beta Version cannot display Feet Correctly, and the SVN version gives me a precision error and does not really work at all in IE7 or 8. In Firefox seems to work but the values for feet are way off. Thanks.

Subject: [fusion-users] Fusion 2.0/MapServer & Units

So here is my dilemma. I've tried to find the source of it and it seems
like this is a core Fusion code issue. My MapServer mapfile has it's
units set in decimal degrees (DD) with an extent set in those units. It
would seem that this mapfile setting completely overrides anything I put
in my ApplicationDefinition.xml for Units or DisplayUnits. I want the
cursor coordinates displayed in DD and I want the measure tool and the
view size status to be in miles. Has anyone got a clue how to get this
to work. I was able to change my mapfile UNITS set to MILES but this
really doesn't fix my map as 1) I don't know what to set for my map
EXTENTS and 2) then the cursor is in miles instead of DD. I'm probably
not going to let the measuring issue be a complete show stopper but the
is a tool that we already have in our Chameleon application that I think
people are already using. Thanks.
