[Geomoose-users] Highlight projection issue

Followup to my own message.

I have confirmed that the link returned by the javascript snippet below contains the correct extent IF interpreted as the original EPSG:26915 projection.
In other words somewhere along the way the bounds are not reprojected.

If I use a single water well in my PostGIS (that uses EPSG:26915) as example:

Stored coordinates are 748178.83, 333429.45 in NAD83 UTM15N.

Mapserver projects those to EPSG:900913 and obtains -10066017.27, 3517260.50 according to my Geomoose interface, which uses 900913. This is the correct location.

If I use my Geomoose interface and check the location in Algeria, it is indeed in agreement with the UTM numbers above.

To reiterate, all locations plot in the correct location, the highlight is now in the correct location, but the query-generated link appears to use the unprojected EPSG:26915 coordinates, taking me to Algeria.

What can I do?

Thanks!
Johan.
