[mapserver-users] Mapinfo TAB files and lcc projection

[Ari Yakar]

Hi All,

I am trying to use simple Mapinfo TAB files (Map of Canada,capitals and
Highways) with Mapserver 3.5. If I don't
apply any projection there is no problem. However when I specify the
projection
settings, map loads with 40x zoomed in. I have to Zoom out to see the whole
map.
I checked documentation of proj3 and proj4 but can't figure out the proper
settings
The following is the PROJECTION settings I have in the map file.

PROJECTION
  "proj=lcc"
  "ellps=GRS80"
  "lat_0=60"
  "lon_0=-105"
  "lat_1=61.666666700"
  "lat_2=63.333333300"
  "datum=NAD83"
  "units=m"
END

I am attaching the Map file just in case it might help to identify the
problem.


Thanks
