[Mapserver-users] reference map rectangle

The reference map doesn't have to have the same shape as the main image.
What's important
is that the size and extent in the mapfile match the actual image and
that the display size in the
HTML form is correct.

My 2 cents, and observations...maybe I am doing something wrong...

my reference image is not a perfect "square", the dimensions are 200 x
142, while my map is 500 x 500.  I notice that my reference location
is
not exactly where I am on the map.  I have attributed (erroneously,
maybe) to the fact that the ref dimensions to not make a perfect
square...

maybe not your problem exactly... but somewhat related...
