[Mapserver-users] Shifting points in a projection

[Ed McNierney]

Paul -

Can you explain in a little more detail?  Projections by their very nature shift (i.e. "project") point coordinates.  If you're seeing points show up in a slightly incorrect place, you've probably got the wrong datum for your source data.

Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone would know why points would be shifted down
slightly in a projection?
